- DisjointedHunt 4y agoI look forward to your support of US fines on the German automobile industry and Airbus as well. Any half wit judge should be able to bless those judgements if we’re using the standard in the court ruling we’re commenting on. It’s a almost as though you think the issue here is about some actual abuse as opposed to the logical loops the judgement is diving through to push through those findings.

If Google is willing to pay 25% of avoided fines to politicians, politicians will certainly be overjoyed to make Google's rights to abuse their position in the European market a personal passion. The main job of American diplomacy is securing profits all over the world for America's most generous lobbyists.

You can actually make a case that this fine was made in good faith, but historically, their fines have been completely arbitrary. They fined Google $2.8 billion for simply adding Google Shopping to search.
