The best move would be to start following the laws and regulations governing that market.

  Until it becomes clear those laws and regulations are nothing more than a vehicle for extracting revenue?

    Or rather a tool to break up monopolies? I think they should have acted long time ago. I particulary like the changes they are compelled to make on Android.

    There is zero evidence for this accusation. The regulations against monopolies are neither new, nor are they enforced in a discriminatory manner against foreign companies. The EU administration is just doing a better job than it’s American counterpart. Which is a shame because historically, the US was pretty good at reigning into anticompetitive monopolies.

      And what regulation exactly did they break with the shop comparison issue? It made consumers lives better, as well as business' lives. The only one losing in there were other shopping comparison sites, but no regulations were broken, yet they still had to pay billions, and the EU /didn't even/ bother telling them what they could change to fix the issue, just that they should do something about it. The whole "follow regulations" excuse is complete bullshit.

    We have taxes for that.
    • thefounder 8y ago
      Yeah but these companies are not paying the taxes, though it's a separate.
