The idea of Google pulling out of Europe is a fantasy, the libertarian equivalent of hoping for famine in the Sowjet Republic ca 1975. As long as Google doesn't have to pay their lawyers more than what they are earning in the EU, Google will happily continue doing business in the EU. And if I had to guess, lawyers make up 0% of their costs in Europe and anywhere else, when rounding to the next integer. I see suggestions of various companies leaving the EU far more often these days than suggestions to leave China. It seems people on HN consider GDPR a more serious danger to justice than, say, "reeducation" camps for unliked minorities. Go figure..
