In a translated press release<\/a>, Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor states that YouTube didn\u2019t follow orders to remove \u201cprohibited content,\u201d which includes videos \u201cpromoting extremism and terrorism,\u201d as well as supposedly false information about the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n In March, the Roskomnadzor threatened to charge Google<\/a> over its failure to remove \u201cillegal\u201d YouTube videos, stating the fee would start at 8 million rubles (~$94,675 USD at the time), with the possibility to climb to 20 percent of Google\u2019s annual revenue. The 21.1 billion rubles reflects a chunk of Google\u2019s yearly turnover in the country, but it\u2019s unclear if Google will actually go through with paying the fine. Google didn\u2019t immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n Google announced its plans to shut down its Russian operations<\/a> in May, stating that government authorities seized its assets in the country and that it would be \u201cuntenable\u201d to keep the branch functional. The search giant\u2019s Russian subsidiary officially filed for bankruptcy last month<\/a>. <\/p>\n Russia and Google have feuded in the past. Last December, Russia fined Google $100 million<\/a> for once again failing to delete banned content, but things escalated following Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. Like many other technology companies, Google cut off Russian customers from various services, pausing the sale of ads on Google<\/a>, demonetizing YouTube channels<\/a> owned by Russian state-backed media, and barring access to those channels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
