The highest court in the European Union has ordered a €1.06 billion ($1.4 billion) antitrust fine against Intel be re-examined, heralding a victory for other technology companies currently facing similar investigations from Europe. In 2009, the European Commission found that Intel had "harmed" its rivals by giving incentives to computer makers Dell, Lenovo and HP for using its microprocessor chips instead of those from rival AMD. Intel appealed, but the fine was upheld in 2014.

It should be readjusted to the current size of the company and value of the currency because they still haven't paid it.
If they get away with it hopefully someone will just start executing execs

I love the "le yurop" meme while there's much worse shit going on in america without anyone ever shitting on them in court for decades or trying to do so anymore

Our Atty Generals have done nothing for the past decade. It's fucking sad how much Google and friends have simply gotten away with.

At least Europe pretends to care about antitrust unlike US courts

the 1.09bill was a big number for the intel of 2009
the 1.09 bill isnt really nothing for the intel of 2017
they might raise it to a more representative amount of the company status

They don't care about the people being exploited by these shitty practices. They just need more money to pay for dem migrants.
So they are bad because they are the best?

Our stuff never sees the light of day. People involved are killed off and everyone moves on.

So, the EU is butthurt because Intel's product was so superior that no one wanted to touch the shit their competitors were making?

Millions of people are aware but things just never get to court. Or we see some bullshit charge and everyone gets off on bail.
