Four years ago, Google removed the accounts of pro-Kremlin and government-controlled media channels Tsargrad TV and RIA Fan from YouTube. While removing this account, Google said that this account has violated antitrust laws and business rules. The Moscow Court then ordered that Google restore the accounts of these channels and if Google does not comply with the order, it will be fined Rs 1 lakh per day.
