Degoogle, and also avoid any company with an international arm incorporated in Russia, or outside of Russia, apparently:
Google is seeking a ruling [in US and English courts] to block [RT] from pursuing its assets in foreign jurisdictions such as South Africa, Turkey and Serbia.
According to the Turkish filings, Russian courts have determined that Google owes Tsargrad 32.8bn roubles (£273m)… [the penalty] doubles every 24 hours… Russian courts had “levied unprecedented fines and arbitrary legal penalties against Google in an attempt to limit access to information on our services and as a punishment for our compliance with international sanctions against Russian individuals and organisations”.
I think we can do both. Google is trying to keep from repatriating profits so they don’t need to pay taxes. Russia took it. Fuck Russia, but I can’t feel too bad for Google.
Enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, fuck them both
They took them in 2020 while they were pulling out of Russia, not recently.
All it does is make it look like a “bitch eating crackers” scenario. With the added benefit of making it sound like people are pro-russia.
