So what stops countries like France just stripping all the assets of Google that they can access from France? If they can fine 500m why not fine a billion? What limits them if they don’t care? It’s mostly Americans’ money - not their citizens.
I don’t understand why Google doesn’t just take their ball and go home if the French are going to treat them like this. Why operate in a market where they'll bleed you whenever they want?
