- onion2k 5y agoAll of the fines you list there (I think) are for breaking various law like dumping oil in to the sea, cheating emissions tests, and money laundering. It's good and right that they're fined for those things (though the fines could be higher..) None of them are big enough to abuse their respective markets. The fines are not symmetrical to the fine Amazon has been given for abusing the Italian courier market, and there is no equivalent EU company that could be fined for abusing any US market either. EU companies tend not to be dominant in the US.
