Google Wins UK Court Ruling Blocking Russian Fines

News summary

Google has won a permanent injunction from London's High Court, which prevents the enforcement of Russian court judgments against the company related to the closure of accounts on its platforms. The court ruled that disputes must be settled in English courts, rejecting the Russian claims led by Tsargrad TV and other media outlets, which sought to impose fines that reportedly amount to 20 trillion times the global GDP. Judge Andrew Henshaw emphasized the nature of these penalties, which escalate rapidly, and noted attempts to enforce these judgments in various countries. Google's legal team argued that the fines, some described as reaching an undecillion roubles, were exorbitant and highlighted the importance of appropriate jurisdiction for legal disputes. This ruling reinforces Google's commitment to its international sanctions and content policies, particularly in response to the geopolitical situation in Russia. Since March 2022, Google has restricted Russian monetization strategies and blocked numerous YouTube channels associated with state-sponsored content.
