Up to 40% of Twitter Users have claimed they have purchased something based off a tweet from someone else, whether this be friend's or influencers tweeting about something they have recently purchased.

Russia fines Google for allowing Prohibited Sites in Search Results

Published 24.12.2018  Author: J.D  Category: News

Russian's telecom watchdog has issued a financial penalty of $7,500 to Google after they refused to remove forbidden material from search results, including many gambling sites that impose on Russian regulation. It's said that Google is failing to connect Russian search results with the country's federal state information system or FGIS.

An administrative case was opened against Google in late November after repeated complaints were made concerning the search engine displaying "prohibited internet resources" which include tens of thousands of online gambling domains
Roskomnadzor blacklists each year. The results also displayed over 13,000 domains in November and has already tallied up 3,200 in the first week of December.

Roskomnadzor CEO Alexander Zharov said that the regulator has "repeatedly explained these legal requirements" to Google, which in response said that its activities were in compliance with Russian law. However, Alexander Zharov shut down Google's claims saying that seeing the prohibited sites in the search results was "irrefutable proof filtering is not carried out."

Zharov stated that Roskomnadzor wouldn't hesitate to open further administrative cases against Google if they continue to operate outside of Russian law. Russian legislators were discussing the increase of financial penalties for these offensives, in order to make them more deterrent. According to a report, one proposal could penalize companies 1% of their annual revenue in Russia. Googles Russian revenue was calculated to be $640 million in 2017, making the potential fine being around the $6.4 million mark.
