Indeed, the problem is that Google is incredibly powerful, and one country at a time fighting them doesn't work. Google cuts them off until they back down.
We basically need a large group of countries to agree, at the same time, to make the same demands, to give Google no choice but to comply, or exit the business. (To some degree, the EU is capable of doing this, but enforcement and interpretation of EU directives can be a bit piecemeal.)
It's time for countries to start treating Google more like an enemy foreign power than a mere company, especially if it wants to act on that stage.
- Silhouette 6y agoIsn't the point here that Google did exit the business when local laws required it to do so, but that turned out to hurt the media who were previously complaining more than it helped them?
- koonsolo 6y agoYou think somebody else will want to build a search engine with these crazy laws? Good luck with that.
