Russia fined Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - that’s 2.5 trillion trillion trillion dollars after the US tech giant took action against Putin's propaganda.

I mean ... I have been wanting to see megacorps hit with fines that are more than slap on the wrist / cost of doing business level of expense.

Yep, I said the same thing in the previous thread on this topic.

The concept of geometrically increasing fines to coerce compliance (and quickly!) is a good one, and western governments need to find the balls to start using that tactic for good reasons (e.g. anti-trust, consumer protection, etc.).
