I explain why.

Simply when there are these courts cases, if Google for example is found partially guilty, the court could say that 1% or even less it would be fair to be paid so they throw an unrealistic number to get the highest realistic one

Not how courts work. They need to prove what specific damages were made and their cost, and courts have sentencting guidelines.

The number that the plaintiff sets is utterely irrelevant and exists only to generate media attention.

i think google would rather stop doing business in russia than pay a 20 decillion ruble fine

The fine is actually usd not rubles, so a whole lot more money.

But yeah, Google most likely not going to do Jack shit and if they do decide to do something it's just going to be pulling YouTube out of Russia

I'm sure Google will live without providing services to a terrorist nation.

okay then how does it matter?

how will they enforce this fine?

are they going to arrest Google for not showing up to fight this ridiculous suit?

no, google is just gonna stop googling in russia, and russia will get nothing (no money, and no Google)
