You can't have it both ways though. You don't get to take advantage of Irish law to reduce your tax/costs, but then also say that Ireland (and the EU) has no jurisdiction over you.
- thfuran 3y agoBut that's not the claim being made.
- throwaway462910 3y agoIt's the claim being pre-emptively argued against though
- bbor 3y agoNot sure there’s anyone in here arguing for google. Poor little google, being bullied by all us hackers…
- sensanaty 3y agoYou should check out the thread, lots of people throwing themselves in front of the firing line because I guess they think that messing with Google will somehow translate to messing with their own startups or whatever.
- panragon 3y agoOr they just work for Google, of which there's a reasonable amount of members here, but yeah.
- thfuran 3y agoThe comment they replied to already explicitly stated that the EU has jurisdiction. They're not pre-empting anything.
- panragon 3y agoThis is completely false, I stated very clearly that they have jurisidiction regardless and that anti-trust is fine. I was just pointing out that it's pretty unfair to use the size of Google Ireland as if it's "just another EU country" when it accounts for basically all EU-based revenue. €50bln is still a huge amount, but based on the phrasing of that comment you'd assume we were talking about figures well over €1t!
