Degoogle, and also avoid any company with an international arm incorporated in Russia, or outside of Russia, apparently:

Google is seeking a ruling [in US and English courts] to block [RT] from pursuing its assets in foreign jurisdictions such as South Africa, Turkey and Serbia.

According to the Turkish filings, Russian courts have determined that Google owes Tsargrad 32.8bn roubles (£273m)... [the penalty] doubles every 24 hours... Russian courts had “levied unprecedented fines and arbitrary legal penalties against Google in an attempt to limit access to information on our services and as a punishment for our compliance with international sanctions against Russian individuals and organisations”.

Stealing from google to fund your war that you're getting ammo from North Korea. Things are not going well for Putin are they.

I just hope Disney still have some money in Russia and he dares stealing from the mouse itself. He'll be in for quite the ride.

I don't know. Disney lost against Ron DeSantis on home turf. Not quite sure what they are going to do against a foreign actor.
