Russia penalizes Zoom $1.18 million for conducting business without a local office
By MYBRANDBOOK
For operating without setting up a local office, a Russian court fined Zoom Video Communications 115 million roubles ($1.18 million). Moscow and global technology businesses have been at odds over content, censorship, data, and local representation in a long-running confrontation that erupted in February 2022 after Russia pushed its armed forces into Ukraine.
The judge, Timur Vakhrameyev said that the fine had been set at a 10th of Zoom's 2022 revenues in Russia. Zoom was fined 15 million roubles last week in what a court said was a repeated failure to store data that it held on Russian citizens on a server in Russia.
Other companies, such as Alphabet's Google and Apple, have been fined heavily in Russia in the last few years.
Soon after Russia started what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine, Meta was found guilty of "extremist activity" in Russia, which it denied, and its Facebook and Instagram platforms were banned.
