It would be awesome if they use the funds to work on some import substitution industrialization.

US$162 million is even less than a drop in the ocean for a company like Google. Google's revenue from their advertising revenue alone amounted to 209.49 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. And for Google's advertising revenue, the profits are really high. I bet on that 209.49 billion U.S. dollars advertising revenue in 2021, 90% would have been their profit.

this is nothing more than corrupt governments asking for bribes. "give us money and we will let you operate"
$160 million to google is a joke. that's like the penny that I find on the street and don't pick up.

Webmasters need to sue Google for over a billion dollars in damages.

At this point they probably consider any lawsuit sum under $1Billion an insult to their fantastic reputation of getting sued the world over.
