Russia blocked access to social media platforms in March due to the designation of Russian state-operated media. Apple paused all sales in Russia in March, but kept operating its free services in the country, even though it had stopped selling ads in Russia. The Russian government fined Meta and Google over their refusal to remove content from their platforms. Russian parliament passed a law in March that makes it a crime to criticize the Ukraine invasion or discuss certain facts about it. The San Francisco-based online encyclopedia's refusal to change its Russian language entry to comply with Russia's strict information laws has been the subject of an ongoing saga with the Kremlin.
The Russian subsidiary of the internet giant said in May that it would be filing for bankruptcy.
The fines would be paid by the American companies. Russian authorities received hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for violating content rules. They haven't commented on whether they will pay their fines or not, and it appears that they won't.
The Russian authorities seized a bank account and will file for bankruptcy.
