Google paid a fine of 3 million rubles for repeated violation of the requirements of Russian legislation – the company did not remove sites with prohibited information from search results. This was reported by the press service of Roskomnadzor.
The agency opened an administrative case against Google in November 2020 after Roskomnadzor discovered the remaining links in a Google search to prohibited sites, including sites with extremist, pornographic and suicidal content.
In February 2019, Google paid a fine of 700 thousand rubles. Then Roskomnadzor fined Google, because the company did not connect to the register with blocked sites and did not begin to remove links to such sites from the search results. On May 25, 2020, the court fined Google 1.5 million rubles and the fine was paid.
Further monitoring revealed that about 30% of links to content prohibited in Russia remain in search results. As a result, in December the court imposed a fine on Google of 3 million rubles. This is far from the maximum amount of the fine. The punishment for the violated article provides for a fine of 1.5 to 5 million rubles.
