- kick 7y agoEurope and the EU are not the same thing. It wouldn't put a "huge" dent in Google's profitability: EMEA accounted for something like 30% of Google's revenue last year, and now that the UK is no longer part of the EU, it's probably substantially less from the EU.
- cbg0 7y agoI think you have a very skewed view of the world if you think 30% of Google's revenue (meaning tens of billions of dollars) isn't huge.
- kick 7y agoIt's not 30% of Google's revenue. That's Google's revenue from the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa). The EU accounts for a portion of it, and less of a portion now that the UK's pulled out.
