It&#x27;s all fun and games until someone pushes Sundar Pichai out a window.

&gt; For some context, Google’s largest fine so far was €4.34 billion (approximately $4.7 billion), issued by the EU in 2018 over antitrust violations related to Android — minuscule next to Russia’s current demand.<p>Yes, Russia is aware of this. It’s just a comical play poking fun at EU and the fact that Google won’t pay up.
