The State Duma decided to fine Google and Facebook for interfering in Russian elections
Vasily Piskarev, head of the State Duma commission to investigate the facts of interference of foreign states in the internal affairs of Russia, proposed introducing millions of fines for foreign companies for interfering in the affairs of the Russian Federation. The amount of fines for Google and Facebook, who allegedly violated the “day of silence” before the elections on September 8, should amount to “millions, tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions of rubles,” he believes.
