Google has been ordered by a Moscow court to pay a fine of 15 million roubles ($164,000) for violating Russia’s data storage laws. The legislation requires foreign technology companies, including Google, to store the personal data of Russian users within the country’s borders. Google’s Russian subsidiary has faced criticism for its failure to promptly remove illegal content flagged by Moscow authorities and for restricting access to certain Russian media outlets on YouTube. The subsidiary filed for bankruptcy after its bank account was seized, leaving staff and vendors uncompensated. Unlike Facebook and Twitter, Google’s services are still operational in Russia. The tech giant has not yet issued an official statement regarding the fine. The case highlights the challenges multinational IT companies face when operating in different legal environments.
