MOSCOW, Feb 25 (Reuters) - A Russian ‌court has ‌fined Alphabet’s Google ​over 22 million roubles ($288,000) for distributing VPN (virtual ‌private network) ⁠services on the Google ⁠Play app store, state ​news ​agency ​TASS reported ‌on Wednesday.

VPNs provide a means for Russians to access foreign ‌tech platforms ​and ​content ​that Russia ‌has banned or ​restricted.
