https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_vs._Google https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_vs._Google - Things take time, but Google did get fined in the past and there's a good chance they get fined again (and forced to change things).
- reaperducer 6y agoFined ≠ "smacked." To Google, EU fines are just a cost of doing business. Like FedEx eating parking tickets. Until Google is fined to a degree that it impacts its share price, nothing will change.
- AnssiH 6y agoAll of the 3 big antitrust cases with fines the parent linked to resulted in Google changing their practices. So IMHO "nothing will change" does not seem right.
- reaperducer 6y agoIf Google had truly changed, this topic wouldn't come up over and over again.
- glenstein 6y agoMy concern is they lose the ability to counterbalance the other four of the Big Five, if they are uniquely targeted by an anti-trust lawsuit. Which is to say, I don't disagree with the momentum toward anti-trust measures being brought against Google, but I want them systematically brought against the entire Big Five, or else the effects may just be further consolidation.
