Not being a holder of a unique resource is a good point. Google do have the mind share though, can you imagine trying to explain to Aunty Robyn that you have to type duckduckgo.com into the search bar now? and that she cant google it anymor

I like this phrase a lot :)

it was, and it sent a strong message to other big companies that Google doesn't care who you are. This is Google's playground and if you want to stay in the search index then you play by Google's rules.

For a token fine I would agree. If the scale of the fines where to increase from a level that can be written off as the cost of doing business to something more damaging, I think that could change things. Particularly as we are seeing a ris

Maybe, but if the French government where to send the army into an American companies datacenter, would America stand by? Particularly if tech lobbyists had been contributing heavily to political campaign donations?

That would be a big gamble for each member country to make.

You are right, it should say "act in the interest of" rather than "make money".

Yes ! At some point the cost of the reputation hit becomes less than the value of the fine. Google removed 'Don't be evil' from its code of conduct last year. Hopefully not a sign of things to come

I would call it a thought experiment rather than a power fantasy, but sure. Would it be a thread to US national security in the same way it could be to France? It might depend how the President at the time is and where their campaign fundin

So I think that is why the fine is 0.05% of global revenue instead of the full 4% that can be enforced under GDPR. Both the government and Google can spin it as a win. But say instead France asks for 4% of global revenue, and there are rumb

maybe, but when it comes to calling bluffs it would be much harder for the government to sustain continued denial of services than for Google et al to keep the case in court

maybe for some cases, but then there are the government and industry bodies that have exabytes of data stored. if Amazon wont provide access to snowmobile to you it becomes problematic

by longstaff2009 8y ago
in the hypothetical scenario where France tries to enforce a huge fine and Google says no thanks, France pushes and then Google turns off service it would be crippling. Google has a lot of power in that sort of negotiation. Which is why I t

I think the extent of that leverage is not well understood. It's like AMI trying to blackmail Jeff Bezos, but having all of their sites hosted with AWS .... What happens when it makes business sense for Google, Amazon, Apple and Facebo

I did a few migration projects when I worked at the Discovery Channel and they took months of planning to ensure continuation of services.

for consumers maybe, but if you don't have access to your data its problematic. for business and government departments it could be crippling
