MOSCOW (AA) - A court in Russia on Thursday fined Google 3 million rubles (about $40,000) for failing to delete YouTube videos that contained LGBT propaganda.
The lawsuit, filed by the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor), was heard at a magistrate's court in the capital Moscow.
The court found Google guilty of violating a Russian law that prohibits LGBT propaganda and imposed a fine.
This is not the first time Google has been fined for such a violation, as it was previously fined 7.2 million rubles in 2021 for similar reasons.
