Seems like a small price to pay for the ongoing effort to prevent the Internet being owned by a small number of [American] mega corps.

- microtonal 3y agoAgreed, but I think that Google is also trying to create outrage against the DMA (or is it DSA in this case?) by complying in the most annoying way possible - “here is a map, but you cannot click it because EU”. Similar to the browser choice screen in iOS, they could also direct you to a page where you select your map provider, which would then be remembered for future map clicks. This doesn’t disadvantage Google Maps competitors and does not introduce this annoyance. (The right answer now should not be to bash the EU, but to move to another search engine that cares about their users more than making their lives more miserable out of spite.)
