Service providers are also supposed to make sure that their services are running with configurations appropriate to geographical/jurisdictional restrictions as dictated by statutes (or not running, as appropriate).

Except that’s not what the fine is for. The fine is for using a banned service.

EDIT: Additionally, it is not Google’s job to make sure another Company is compliant.
