A Moscow court on Tuesday fined US tech giant Google 15 million Russian rubles ($165,000) for violating laws on data localization.
Under the law on localization, IT companies are required to store Russian users’ data on servers inside Russia.
Google was also fined $3 million rubles in August 2021 under the same offense.
Employment-focused US social network Linkedin was blocked in Russia in August 2016 after failing to transfer Russian user data to servers located in the country. Twitter and Facebook also remain banned.
