Kind why I don't have any faith at all in the Google anti-trust case. They'll be ordered to pay a fine of 0.5% of their annual revenue or something.

- red_trumpet 3y agoWouldn't they also be ordered to change their behavior?

- varispeed 3y agoThey should be ordered to pay over 45% of their annual revenue. They think charging business 30% of their revenue is completely acceptable, so a fine must be something above that number. Any fine on revenue below 30% is just a cost of doing business.
- mcv 3y agoThey should be ordered to pay 45% of the company. Hand over the shares. If shareholders lose ownership, then they'll start to pay attention to how the company is run.
