It's the claim being pre-emptively argued against though

  Not sure there’s anyone in here arguing for google. Poor little google, being bullied by all us hackers…

    You 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.

      Or they just work for Google, of which there's a reasonable amount of members here, but yeah.

  The comment they replied to already explicitly stated that the EU has jurisdiction. They're not pre-empting anything.

  This 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!
