Russia fines Google more than entire world's GDP
Russia fines Google more than entire world's GDP
The mind-boggling figure has been levied due to the company restricting Russian state media on YouTube.
"More than the entire world's GDP" is just a massive understatement here.
Let's put this number in context. The highest estimate for the number of planets in our galaxy is 8 trillion. If we terraformed, settled and developed every single one of those planets, to the point where every last one had the same total GDP as Earth today, it would still not be enough to pay this fine.
How far short would we be? Would we need to settle and develop two entire galaxies worth of planets? Ten? A hundred? A thousand?!
Nope. Twenty million. We would need to settle TWENTY. FUCKING. MILLION. GALAXIES. Each containing 8 trillion planets. Each planet containing about 8 billion humans.
That's how comically, ludicrously, impossibly large this fine is.
And if Google doesn't pay? What is Russia going to do, invade Google?
Russia really has become "big North Korea", sheesh
Northest Korea
Finally a fine that isn’t just a slap on the wrist! /s
Fines above a certain level somehow become less than a slap on the wrist.
We should find Russia a Rayo’s number of kopecks and call it an eternity.
