The operational costs of upending all those offices is orders of magnitude larger than just paying a fine.
Also those offices are not there out of the kindness of Google's heart. They need offices and most importantly, servers, in Europe. Otherwise, they can't serve ads as efficiently, and someone else might take their place in Europe. And certainly, they can't have that.
As long as Google has a hotdog stand inside the EU, Google-Europe can be fined.

Do you think if a transport company gets into the position where it basically comprises the public transport net of a city, they don't have the responsibility to remain operational, keep prices stable unless pretty fucking justified, keep their schedules stable as much as possible, etc?

Now extend that to the search engine whose very name has become a synonym for searching. Google has grown to the point where it's a part of everyone's lives, thus they have certain responsibilities unused shit like bing doesn't have.

Why are there always people like you who refuse to accept that companies have responsibilities to the society they interact with? Society doesn't exist for companies to exploit unidirectionally - companies exist to cooperate bidirectionally with society.

Well actually they can and do and it's still allowed for now, but anything more manipulative than that, such as manipulating information (e.g. the response to a query to find sources of certain information, i.e. google results) and its spread is a crime against humanity.

First of all, America isn't exactly truly capitalist, it has socialism in the mix.
Also, being a capitalist doesn't mean being anti taxes. Some taxes are necessary. It does mean that government has lesser restrictions on businesses tho. Conservatism and capitalism goes hand in hand as they both speak for limited governments and free markets.

>>60713552
I understand your point anon, the old capitalist-socialist dichotomy is flawed because almost all nations are mixed economies.
You are right, taxes have little to do with how capitalist is a country.
Capitalism would entail creating a good environment for companies, so they can compete. When the best rise to the top and bad business fails (without artificial outside interventions, maybe to break up monopolies) everyone wins.
I like the American ideal of small government, however Europe is another place right now. Regardless, that was not the point of that conversation. The point was "hurr, europe is literally Venezuela because you dare fine a company"

The simple fact that Google has been rigging all kinds of search-results for a very long time is why I switched years ago. It's also why I run my own instance of the YaCy P2P search-engine.

Google showing their own products before other's in their search-results is the least scary thing they are doing. Trying to influence what you are able to learn and what you think by hiding a whole range of sites while showing you a limited variation of approved sites is far more worrying.

>>60712440

If they want to legally be biased about which info they show you and in which order, they should advertise themselves as "a search engine that pushes its own opinions on its users".

This is the one thing that isn't simple to replace due to the already large amount of content it has, the deals with music partners it has and also the amount of data centres you would have to setup to accommodate the bandwidth and storage. At least with search engines you can still point to something like bing and yahoo even if they are worse. There is no real alternative to youtube that even comes close to it.

It does not need to be a 1:1 replacement for most users, you can get entertainment and gossip and product whoring without it being the same people and the same videos.

Data centers and storage can be set up. Ultimately cloud storage tech is almost mature enough without much adaption, even if they surely might be worse platforms initially it wouldn't take long.

And if you hypothetically really pissed off the EU (by the USA helping Google escape justice in some unfair way) then it of course could just withdraw from copyright agreements or whatever else like you withdraw from climate agreements. US music might be unprotected then. And there are other nations that might join the EU in that.

This will never happen as there is far too much at stake globally (not just with the EU vs US) between companies, that are not just google, to start messing with copyright agreements and such.

I dunno, not being politically and otherwise biased in the filtering and ordering of the search results retrieved from your database sounds like a reasonable start.

>I'm pretty sure you're the one implying neutrality
burgerland, where the default assumption in a relation is hostility and people are ok with that. Here in europe we have reached a slightly higher social standard where things like neutrality are default and if you want to provide biased results to the general public, you have to specify that you will do so.

It's amazing how burgers continue to defend being cucked by companies

>>60715056
>freedom implies the freedom to fuck people over at will
That's not the definition of freedom in a civilized society. You're thinking of anarchy, I'm thinking of benignly organized freedom, as in freedom to do what you please except obviously fucking murder each other and whatnot, as well as deceiving, lying, cheating, etc. It's not a difficult concept to grasp

We have a government that takes firm action for us exactly because the general public as a whole is powerless to act on anything. We also have a sense of justice and righteousness, and since companies are part of society they have to follow society's rules. That includes having some basic fucking decency.

Try to understand we have a slightly better government than the US and ours at least sort of tries to be useful to us and occasionally do something good, which I very well understand yours absolutely doesn't, so the concept of a government doing things in your best interest is entirely alien to you.

There are and should be laws in place to prevent this from happening. I doubt it happens in the first place. Even if it happens, free market is still the better system than any alternative.
>Wealth growth is proportional to current wealth so while you get jack shit, people who you think can become drift further and further away.
Partially true. While existing wealth surely plays a role in a person's success, it doesn't guarantee success. Going By your logic, existing billionaires wouldn't even exist because at some point, they were poor too. Also, it's alot more complicated than you are suggesting because of low interest loans and other factors. Lastly, a study done by brookings institute, a left leaning institute, showed that in order to cross the border from lower and middle classes to upper middle class in USA, all that a person had to do was
1)dont have babies out of wedlock
2)go to highschool
3)get a job
They found that to be true for 75%(it was close to this figure but I don't remember it exactly) of the people who followed just these above steps. Here in USA, we have a decision privilege...if we make right decisions with our life we succeed, if we don't we end up on food stamps.

I think you guys are giving the EU too much shit over this. The premise behind all this is that since Google has established itself as a dominant service in the area for internet queries, they should have some responsibility and expectation to remain non biased. The EU feels that an information asymmetry created by search results would hurt consumers by purposely limiting their shopping queries to what Google wants.

Nonetheless it's bullshit what the EU wants: Google isn't a water utility company owned by the state or some megamonopoly that you can't reasonably escape. Google shouldn't have the expectation to have responsibilities of a government utility company just because enough retards casually use their search engine.

Fuck just wait till the Sprint Tmobile merger...

Plans are going to suck again.

>>60719373

>>60717881

you'll notice they barely celebrate American holidays anymore. Only 4th of July because it would practically be treason not to.

but they sure celebrate jewish holidays, muslim holidays, and obscure african WEWUZKANGZ holidays

>>60719389
Tmobile will have a bigger customer base than Verizon or AT&T if the merger happens, not to mention their growth is already equal to sprint verizon and at&t combined.

The more they grow the more they dick over all of their good plans, the $30 unlimited data 100 minute plan was axed right around when the sprint merger talks started, and I can guarantee if a merger happens they will jack their prices up another $5-$10.

>>60719439
Nope.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_wireless_communications_service_providers#Largest_U.S._wireless_providers

>>60719483
If you factor in Tmobile's growth its conceivable that their total subscriber base will be larger. They added over 8 million last year.

>>60719389
you can still have a monopoly even if there's more than one company.

it's the Microsoft/Apple monopoly system. they skirt anti monopoly laws because technically, there is still competition. When Bill Gates bailed out Apple in the late 90's, it was specifically because if Apple went under, Microsoft would be a monopoly.

since then, they don't actually compete anymore, because this way they both monopolize the market, and they get away with it because "hey, you can use ubuntu or some form of Linux if you dont like Windows :^)"

the more mergers that happen in the telecommunications industry, the less competition there really is. you get ever growing giants that stranglehold the market.

>>60719522
Those numbers are a month old. Even with 8 million more they're still less than Verizon after the merger. Verizon is barely facing enough competetion right now. A third major play instead of two semi-large ones could force AT&T and Verizon to compete, and we'd get a working market.

Either way, becoming a third of the major celluar market is in no way a monopoly. Also, Tmobiles business isn't sustainable. They just need to knock Verizon off their throne so they have a chance. If you thought their plans would last you're delusional. Long term more competition will be a benefit, but you're not going to see tmobiles outrageous plans forever.

>>60719532
Sure, but with that merger there'd be three, not two, major providers, with roughly equal market share. Sprint is also hardly a competitor. It'd really just make Tmobile more of a competitor.

If anything political should be spent to bust up Verizon, with their exclusive phone (a similar thing should have happened to Apple a long time ago) horseshit.

>>60719577
>A third major play instead of two semi-large ones could force AT&T and Verizon to compete, and we'd get a working market.
you know damn well that wouldnt work.

honestly, competition only works when there are many companies. not just 3 giants. because when they are giants, it takes a lot more to actually hurt them, and the only end result is you have 3 giants divvying up the US telelphone landscape amongst themselves, and occasionally trading a few customers here or there or lazily poking at each other.

>>60712517
intel haven't paid their 1b fine. It's to go to subsidizing AMD laptops in the EU.

>>60719601
on that, I agree. A better idea would be to bust up Verizon.

but as the laws are, they aren't considered a monopoly of any kind and just aren't considered a threat because again, "hey, sprint does exist you know :^)"

I think the Govt should bust both Apple AND Microsoft honestly, though arguably, Microsoft needs it more. Apple just sells appliances to hipsters and technologically illiterate grandmothers. Microsoft is literally strangling the market in every field.

>>60719577
I don't think their plans will last at all.

As soon as they absorb all the Sprint customers I expect my service to get substantially worse due to all the Sprint retards suddenly having good speeds on my towers :(

>>60719605
Nah. I don't think letting Tmobile have a dying Sprint is going to hurt anything. There's already dozens of small providers. Long term it's hard to say. Short term I definitely think it would be good, as it would give Tmobile more resources to fight Verizon, which would cause Verizon to compete. Long term, things could balance out, but I don't we'd get a high level of jewery with the three of them, plus all of the small providers. Cell service is a progressing market. New technologies emerge, and providers have to adapt. It's not like a cable company sitting on copper lines and doing nothing. Building towers and leasing bandwidth is much easier than hardwired service.

Whatever happens long term is hard to say. Could be net good, could be net bad. Either way, there's definitely no cause to block a merger on monopoly grounds, considering two other companies of the new size already exist.

Microsoft does need a monopoly split more. On the Apple front, I'm more outraged their anti-competitive practices (locked bootloaded/OS environment, iMessage, iCloud, etc.) haven't been slapped yet.

Splitting up MS would be tricky, though. I can't think of a good way to split it that would help. the problem is ultimately the NT kernel, and it'd be hard to split it in half. You could shave off Office, or IE, or one of their services, or whatever, but I feel like ultimately each one would end up just supporting Windows because no one uses anything else. A software company is just so different than from what anti-trust laws were made in mind with. Maybe you could split everything except the OS and give merge it with Red Hat or something, but spurring competition is tricky.

>>60712079
The EU is a leech off of every technology company that ever existed. If I had a tech company I wouldn't even mind giving up part of the market to avoid having to deal with those dickheads.

>>60715595
i can't access the pirate bay from my country, for exemple

>>60719781
yeah, splitting Microsoft would be almost impossible because of it's nature. it didn't absorb anyone, it just crushed everyone else, and lefty Apple alive as a shield.

so even if you hypothetically busted Microsoft into lets say 3 separate companies, youd still have at least 1 of them that owns Windows the operating system, unless you ruled that the operating system itself was somehow monopolistic and not only busted Microsoft somehow, but also forced them to cease making windows, therefore forcing the hypothetical babysofts to each make a new operating system each.

it really is a brain twister.

And of course, since the world runs on microsoft, (and Bill Gates is literally a global elite) I just dont think anyone has the guts to actually attempt something like that.

it would be a situation of having to burn the entire OS market down in order to fix it.

>>60719718

Yes, look at it doing so poorly.

You can't really hit a giant like Google with a $9bn fine.

It takes more than that. It takes nukes.

You seem to forget that the EU is handing free cash left and right.

All that cash is piling and the value of the Euro is based only on confidence, sure the US is also printing money like no tomorrow but they don't give cash handouts like the EU, sometimes up to 80% of the value of a company.

Sure you need to buy European things with euro but once Europe becomes more isolated, the Euro will blow in the union's face, it'll be worthless.
People seem to forget that there is no petro-euro so EU is not like US, the Euro is less covered than the dollar.

Not to mention that they'll lawyer their way to never get around to paying the fine. An endless stream of 'yeah bro we'll pay it tomorrow' will follow.
Intel still hasn't finished paying out its anti-trust shit either.
