- candiodari 8y agoThat's funny. In a minute you'll be saying that one will be enforced in Europe. I mean perhaps they're racist enough to enforce it against Google, but they won't prevent monopolies. (Europe, where near everything is mono/oligopolized and the behavior of those companies is abhorrent. From beer in Belgium (they own the cafes or loan them money and force out competing beers from the menu), to cheese in France (import and health regulations mean almost no non-French cheese and French producers are exempt from even most of those health regulations). To German cars (read how Dieselgate played out in Germany, ie. German manufacturers got exempted from ... car regulations ... not even joking ... or what keeps happening to startup car manufacturers in Germany and France, ...)
