It seems that the standard response to the EU probing Google is to say it's unfair and "what about European companies" without actually doing any research into the matter.

- eternalban 11y agoDo you expect the EU to openly state that this is political and entirely about who gets to curate the information available?
- thescrewdriver 11y agoCare to substantiate the accusations you're making so matter-of-factly?
