A lawsuit has been filed against Google in Russia after the company announced restrictions on cryptocurrency-related ads. Entrepreneur Vladimir Orehov demands a 2 billion ruble compensation from the Russian Google entity ÎÎÎ «Ãóãë». He claims the ban will deprive him of opportunities to invest in crypto projects and find investors to fund his own business initiatives.

Despite his own mistrust of cryptocurrencies, the lawmaker believes people should have the right to make choices.
