They should've just fined them 1 googol (10^100), if they're already at it.

The fine is doubled every week, so eventually they will.

Hopefully this time around Google will grow a brain, pull the plug and shut down operations in this dump for good and stop giving rt free lap dances.

Anyone still thinks Russia is serious country ? But still seriously dangerous...

And all that for official gov jury supporting nazi portal... :>

"things with no sense - of ridicule, of shame, of decency (etc.)"

How to frame the idea into the context of "intellectual curiosity"? Probably with the question on how the surge of "things with no sense - of ridicule, of shame, of decency" has happened.

Some of us have become more and more puzzled about how the response in front of bold expressions of lowliness has become very faint.

Well, soon that will be only about $15 US$

Seems like Russia owns Alphabet now. Then we're not allowed to trade with Alphabet and their cloud anymore. What a disaster it is to come.

Absurdistan

Google should reply with "We'll give you Tree Fiddy!"

That's $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Don't worry once Trump is elected her will counter this with a 20 gazzillion percent tariff on vodka.
