  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!

    You can, but why’d you want to platform something on a social network singlehandedly lowering the IQ of the whole IP address range?

    That one guy is pitching in $5 so now Google owes $10,779,224,060,605,346,999,999,999,999,999,995

      I will pitch in .000000000000000000000001 Bitcoin, so that’s either insignificant or enough to pay off everything, I have no idea!

    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.

  What do you think, how long should we wait until the overflow in the debts database makes the value negative?

  If they keep duplicating the ask, soon they’ll be asking for a googol from Google. Hehe.

  What is that, about tree-fiddy American?

  I predict they get jackshit

  honestly at this point, why even use real numbers? Just ask for a bazillion rubles, it’s about as likely as 2 undecillion.

  Not a fan of Google, but the look probably like this: Image

  So that’s like what, $20 American?

  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.

    I imagine google operation in Russia is currently Ivan with a Chromebook. I guess Putin can nationalize it and call it a victory. Good knows he needs one (but the devil will collect)
