    Google's Russian subsidiary recognised as bankrupt

    Google's Russian subsidiary has been recognised as bankrupt by a court in Moscow, the RIA news agency has reported.

    Alphabet Inc's Russian unit filed for bankruptcy in summer last year after authorities seized its bank account, making it impossible to pay staff and vendors.

    Free services including search and YouTube have continued operating.

    Moscow has repeatedly clashed with foreign tech companies over content, censorship, data and local representation - a bristling that intensified after Russia sent its armed forces into Ukraine in February last year.

    Google's Russian subsidiary has been under pressure for failing to delete content Moscow deems illegal and for restricting access to some Russian media on YouTube, though while the Kremlin has banned platforms including Facebook and Twitter, it has stopped short of blocking access to Google's services.
