The key factor isn’t going to be the European Commission's extreme fines, it is going to be whether the Court of Justice allows such fines. The history says that they won’t.
- Kon-Peki 2y agoThis being a brand-new example of how the European courts are dealing with the European Commission's fines: > The European Union General Court on Wednesday annulled a $1.7 billion antitrust penalty levied by the European Commission against Google over its AdSense advertising platform. > The court upheld "the majority" of the European Commission's initial findings but annuled the fine, stating that the Commission"failed to take into consideration all the relevant circumstances in its assessment of the duration of the contract clauses that the Commission had deemed abusive." https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2024/09/18/EU-Google-fine-annulled-General-Court/2781726663792/ https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2024/09/18/EU-Google... This will continue to happen as long as the EC cares more about populist press releases than they care about properly doing their job. Sorry that the truth hurts.
