A Moscow court on Friday slapped Google with an unprecedented fine of nearly $10
0 million, while Meta (formerly Facebook) received a fine of $27 million.

   "In recent years Russia has been piling pressure on Western social
   media giants, with President Vladimir Putin saying those companies were
   becoming as influential as elected governments."

   "Moscow has repeatedly taken legal action against them for allegedly
   not moderating their content properly and interfering in the country's
   affairs."

   Jim Bell's comment:

   At some point, Facebook and Google and Twitter and Instagram will
   realize that they are, effectively, as powerful as national
   governments.  In the same way that the Viet Cong were as powerful as
   the American army during the Vietnam war.

   Everyday, hundreds of people get diagnoses of terminal illnesses.  Some
   of them will accept large ($100k, $1 million, $10 million) payments,
   paid to their family or friends, for their work in assassinating heads
   of government or other powerful politicians.
