Russia fines Zoom $1.18m for operating without office

A Russian court fined Zoom Video Communications 115 million roubles ($1.18 million) on Tuesday for operating without setting up a local office, the RIA news agency reported.

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.

According to judge Timur Vakhrameyev, quoted by RIA, the sentence was set at a tenth of Zoom’s Russian income for 2022.

A court last week fined Zoom 15 million roubles for what it claimed were multiple instances of the company failing to keep data it had on Russian individuals on a server there.

Other businesses, including Apple and Alphabet’s Google, have received significant fines in Russia in the past few years.
