A Russian court has demanded Google pay a number so large that even the Kremlin conceded to NBC News on Thursday it was more a symbolic gesture than a sum it soon expects to bolster its war funds. The fine amounts to around $20 decillion — 20 followed by 33 zeros — or two undecillion rubles, a 37-digit figure.

According to the Russian news outlet RBC, the fine is the total amount demanded by 17 Russian television channels and other media outlets whose output has been blocked from YouTube — the video platform owned by the tech giant — as sanctioned supporters of President Vladimir Putin’s regime and its invasion of Ukraine. – nbcnews.com
