Even if this "plan" were adopted by the EU, it could never be implemented. The U.S., with a more business-oriented Republican majority in Congress, would consider it an attack on free trade, retaliation against European exporters would be threatened, and Google itself would spend years fighting it in court. Given that Google is not a monopoly and there exists alternatives to almost every service Google offers, most of which it offers for free, it hardly seems justifiable to break a company up simply for being "too good" or "preferred by too many people". It's basically a non-issue, a desperate maneuver by the socialists and their allies to remain relevant. The European countries should focus on encouraging innovation rather than attacking innovative American companies for being too successful.
