What shady practices exactly?
Buying competitors, actions which are already well regulated and overseen by the FTC? And European bodies?
And then ... ?
Giving away software for free?
The populism is getting way out of hand.
First, if there are some anti-competitive issues to address, the EU should do that, but it's hard to do in retrospect.
Google / Chrome / Android is an obvious one, Apple's issue with App Store another, but Facebook / Insta / What's a much less obvious one.
Second, the real underlying issue is Europe's failure to produce anything material in this landscape. They have almost no winners and are being dominated, these are the acts of system with a weak hand. If SAP and a bunch of other European companies dominated the US landscape, this legislation would be different.
