Fuck the eu

>>136951632
You understand google is fined by the (((EU))) because they don't restrict hate speech even more than they are doing right now. (((EU))) goal is 1984 surveillance over its subjects.

Can we just take the internet away from the rest of the world? Fucking cucks don't appreciate anything.

Oh good, evil attacking evil.

>>136952324

And? Will the EU stop using Google or what?

>>136952324
Google needs to be broken up though, it and Amazon are simply to powerful, especially now that Google and Facebook is getting politically active, they have too much power through information control. Of course our government may allow it, as they allowed all the media monopolies for years now.

The EU is an SJW club themselves. I rather expect them to lower the fine when gulag funds some anti white projects. I hope they will do one in Austria, can't wait too put them stones in the way once the Socialist lost power.

Nordbro is an unstoppable archiving machine.

Why won't Google or other companies just tell EU to fuck off? You can have all the servers in the US and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

And I'm not saying this because I think Google is a good company, they deserve to go under. But what right does EU have to enforce a company based on another country to do anything?

>>136954703
The EU courts have been a net plus for Belgium. We had a case here for example where the courts had closed down a small town butchery whose owner was involved in a minor legal battle. The owner had the option to either settle and pay up a large sum so he could reopen OR go to court but his butchery would stay closed until the final verdict. The butcher argued in front of several Belgian courts that he was effectively being forced to pay up because otherwise he'd be economically dead. He had to take it all the way to the EU courts where he was finally given justice. Another example, it used to be possible for our police to question suspects without them having a right to see their lawyers first. The EU objected and now every suspect can see their lawyer before questioning.

The EU has been a net benefit for the justice in my country.

>>136951632
That's kind of worrying. It's like owning a shop, but some faggot comes in and asks for a product brand of your competitor across the road, but you first insist yours is good, but then get fined for not selling theirs like you did yours.

I understand Google is Gulag-tier now, but this really does have much wider implications. As Jewish as Google's search engine is, it's Google's search engine, not Yahoo's, or Bing's. It's Google's playing field, but yet Google has to play as shitly as the rest of them.

It's the same bullshit that happened with Microsoft when they were fined for having IE as the default browser and didn't advertise any other browser. I was perfectly fine with that, even though I and most likely 99% of everyone else went and found another browser anyhow.

All these conglomerates will find refuge in the UK once we're out of the EU.

Can someone explain what will happen if Google doesn't pay? They can just move their """headquarters""" to wherever and then what? Will the EU force everyone to stop using Google?

>>136956306
They agreed to EUs rules and regulations,
It's the same way you agree to eg. Youtube rules, and they take off your videos because you are breaking rules.

I don't see why Google would be exception, it was their choice to trade within EU and benefit from it.

>>136954309
2.4 billion is next to nothing to Google and absolutely nothing to the EU.

Of course it is just a pure speculation. After every shitty decision unveiled coming from EU leaders or google I'm more and more convinced that their goal is to shut down every influential voice who doesn't share their liberal/globalist view and honestly I've lost all my trust in them.

They don't have control over all the nation states under them's funds mate

>>136957723
This is just it, excessive regulation always harms the small business. And monopoly laws are pointless when two or three companies become a cartel and price match. Harder to prove that they are scratching each other's backs with this practice however.

That's how you see trash like Comcast and AT&T get away with it, we have the same with the sky, virgin, BT cartel

How about these fuckers make their own european search engine if they dont like how google is doing things? But no, that would actually take some time and work, why would you do that if you can just fine people for not doing what you want instead?

If it makes you feel better, the fines are calculated by determining what the profit margin was if they had not done so; so they still made a profit on ALL of those sales, just not as much. Think how much shit gets bought on Google; if they had just a 1% advantage on each sale then a billion+ isn't that surprising.

Not to say the EU has great antitrust laws, but it's not like this should have been a surprise to Google. They have a mountain of lawyers, they knew that they were riding the line of the laws of the market that they chose to enter.
