What can the " European antitrust authorities" do if they decide something? It seems like the damage has already been done, like launching a DMCA request against a rival company's hoster on launch day.
- frandroid 13y agoThey can't fix the past, but if the EU determines that some actions of Google are illegal, once Google is notified, three things will happen: 1) A fine will be levied for past misconduct 2) Google will know that repeat of similar action will result in swift legal injunctions against it, with potential of heavier fines for repeating behaviour that has been identified as illegal 3) If Google repeats the behaviour anyway, said injunctions could be applied rapidly, and the company that Google was trying to bully could have freer reign to introduce its cutting edge/weird products.
