Russia fines Google for failing to delete banned content

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Moscow court on Wednesday fined Alphabet Inc.'s Google 6.5 million roubles ($89,535) for not deleting content that Russia deems illegal, part of a wider dispute between Moscow and the U.S. tech giant.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Russia threatened to block YouTube earlier on Wednesday after Russian state-backed broadcaster RT's German-language channels were deleted.
