Actually it is. A regulatory body is supposed to give maximum freedom to business to help them come up with cheaper and better products while not violating other people's rights.
EU is equivalent of the white cop shooting an unarmed black kid and then have audacity to call himself the defender of law and justice.
But Google is simply pointing out that the people who will end up paying the $5B fine is not Google shareholders by the EU users. As a person who owns Google shares I think Google must modify their playstore policies to charge EU android users and extra fee to pay for this $5B fine.

Where did you manage to come up with that definition of regulatory bodies? Their job is to regulate actors under their jurisdiction based on goals set for them by their respective legislature. They don't all have an overarching goal of improving businesses. Some are(were) explicitly opposed to business interests like the EPA
- simula67 8y agoShould these goals be constrained at all ? For example, can a regulatory body ban sales of all cigarettes because the son of the chairperson of the body died of lung cancer ? Why not appoint heads of regulatory bodies as kings ?
