They should've just fined them 1 googol (10^100), if they're already at it.

The fine is doubled every week, so eventually they will.

"things with no sense - of ridicule, of shame, of decency (etc.)"

How to frame the idea into the context of "intellectual curiosity"? Probably with the question on how the surge of "things with no sense - of ridicule, of shame, of decency" has happened.

Some of us have become more and more puzzled about how the response in front of bold expressions of lowliness has become very faint.

Fear. People are scared of calling bullshit when the response is likely to be violent. I could be fear of being physically hurt, or of economic power being used to ruin critics, or fear of social sanction.

Hopefully this time around Google will grow a brain, pull the plug and shut down operations in this dump for good and stop giving rt free lap dances.

Seems like Russia owns Alphabet now. Then we're not allowed to trade with Alphabet and their cloud anymore. What a disaster it is to come.

> The United States assesses that doing business in the Russia Federation and in Russia-occupied territories of Ukraine poses serious legal, financial, and reputational risks.

Furthermore,

North Korea is a state sanctioned by the UN.

UN policies forbid UN Member States (and UNSC members) from collaborating with sanctioned states such as North Korea.
