A Moscow court found Google guilty of leaking personal data of Russian servicemen in Ukraine, as reported by TASS. Google has not yet responded.
(Reuters) -A Moscow court has found Alphabet's Google guilty of disclosing personal data of Russian servicemen who died in Ukraine, Russia's TASS news agency reported on Monday, citing court documents.
The court's documents say that in a video published on YouTube, information on the losses in Ukraine of Russian servicemen, as well as their personal data, were disclosed, TASS reported.
Russia has for several years ordered foreign technology platforms to remove content it deems illegal, such as what it calls "fakes" about the war in Ukraine, issuing small but persistent fines when it sees failures to comply.
Google did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment outside business hours.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin accused Google in December of being a tool used by the U.S. government headed then by former President Joe Biden, to score political points.
