| When the levee breaks... [REGNUM] The Moscow Arbitration Court ruled on the claim of the owner of the TV channel Tsargrad, the non-public joint stock company Tsargrad Media, whose YouTube account was blocked. Judge Chadov, by his verdict, invalidated the cancellation of the account agreement for the provision of the Google Ad Manager Small Business service and ordered to restore access. The decision can still be appealed. The defendants in the case were three companies, including the Irish Google Ireland Limited, the American Google LLC and the Russian Google LLC, reports IA REGNUM . Before the account was blocked, the company's service was provided on the basis of an account agreement for the provision of the Google Ad Manager Small Business service dated December 30, 2019. The court declared invalid the refusal of the defendants from this agreement. The judge also left without consideration the application of Google LLC (USA) to leave the claim without consideration. The defendants were ordered to restore access to the account. If the decision is not executed within five days from the date of entry into force, the defendants will be jointly and severally charged in favor of the plaintiff with a “ court forfeit in the amount of 100,000 rubles for each day of non-execution of the judicial act, starting from the sixth day from the date of entry into force of the judicial act until its actual execution, subject to a weekly increase in the amount of daily calculated judicial forfeit by two times . " Recall that the case has been heard since August 2020 and may become a precedent for the owners of accounts on video hosting who have fallen under the knife for no good reason. In the case of Tsargrad, a violation of export legislation was presented as a justification for the disconnection of services. Then the Russian Foreign Ministry commented on these actions. |

| #1 Whats this? Russia seems to care more about open Internet Access than the Harris/Pelosi Admin. BTW: 100,000 rubles = about $132. So with Google making 10's of $Million$ a day, it can sweat it out for a few 1000 years. |
