Comedy gold.

According to my Google Currency Calculator app, that translates to approximately $14.38 USD.

And the fact that Google didn't pay them more money than exists in the world will be why Russia blocks Google's operations in the country and seizes every bit of property they can get their hands on that they say was even vaguely related to Google's operations. They didn't even bother with a realistic number, because in the end they don't really care who does or doesn't believe them.

Totally not a joke-country you guys.
Totally normal.

they could just go for googol dollars

Meh. This is but a fraction of what the big media companies think the world owes them for piracy.

To everyone saying "this isn't possible for Google to pay" really need to take a step back and realize that there's always a way.

Given the amount of money we're talking, it would only take a tiny fraction of that money for Google to deliver a series of small asteroids directly to Russia. Depending on the asteroid, and the conversion rates, Russia might consider the debt paid after a single delivery.

What’s that number in words? Sure. I could use Google, but they just got fined by Russia for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 so can they really be trusted?

Maybe they meant rubles. I think I may find that value in my couch.

It's an actual court doing this.. Lol.

All made up, just like the reason for invading Ukraine

I was going to say Russia must love humiliating themselves but I guess this is painfully obvious the past 2 years

Oh wow, it was that easy all the time to fix a country's economy? Why did no one think of that before?

They know this is impossible - even with their worthless currency. I guess they will soon provide their own services or they will revoke internet access from their citizens.

Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow

Well to be fair, I do think it's plausible that one day Google will indeed control all the money in the world.

Why does the article keep referring to Google as "The Chocolate Factory?"

just tell them it's in the mail, google.

RT broke a bunch of YouTube rules and should have been banned too.

April 1st came early

And they only stopped writing zeros only because there was no more space on their paper form.
