They should have just committed to the bit and demanded a googolplex of rubles from Google.
Putting everything else aside:
Why do they think they have any right to be platformed by Google, a private American company?
Can I demand that anti Putin content be platformed on VK or they have to pay me genuinely absurd fines?
I don’t want to be your friend. I’m going to fine you weekly until you are!
for the record, that is $10,779,224,060,605,347,000,000,000,000,000,000 (american) dollars
That one guy is pitching in $5 so now Google owes $10,779,224,060,605,346,999,999,999,999,999,995
on the other hand, when Putin’s done killing off most of their own present and future workforce in a senseless war and completely tanking his own economy, that might be the equivalent of like $3
I can loan Google the $5 if they need it.

I wonder what that means for google operating in russia. Since the demanded sum is so large, do they get their assets seized, like for example authorities sacking google phones? Or does this have absolutely no consequences?
Essentially nothing, Google Russia declared bankruptcy two years ago when the russian government seized their bank account. I am not 100% certain but afaik google has no operations within russia anymore at this point in time.
Sounds like Russia is a little on cash…
