It might be very hard for business minded rich hacker news crowd to swallow but i think many EU citizens believe in regulations. It is not like US. On one hand google can do whatever they want because its their service and they don't force anyone to go there. On the other hand they have big monopoly so people can't really go anywhere else (they don't know better) - they are not really paying taxes in most of the EU countries and many times don't even comply with local laws because EU is just one big thing for them - not individual states. Let's not forget it is Google who is playing on EU ballpark - not the other way around. By the way - does anyone still believe that Google / Facebook or even the Internet are not utility? It seems it a lot like water/electricity/roads but for information.
