    If something is the best, EU VIEWS IT AS ANTICOMPETITIVE. if everyone wants your stuff, because you’re that good, prepare to pay ridiculous fines and get holes poked in your business to make you not so good anymore. 

    Another attack on an American company. 

    Sickening. 
    Take a look for yourself...

    Where is the overreach if an organisation opens an investigation to see if a company is breaking antitrust legislation and is providing the grounds for it?

    Should companies be allowed to go unchecked if their business practices might mean they are abusing dominant position, harming competition and stifling innovation? 
    bruh. They make screens and screen protectors. They’re really good. 

    That’s it. There is no anticompetitive bent. They simply make great stuff. 
    I take it that this is your conclusion from years of detailed investigation into their competitive business practices? 

    You should write up a detailed report with your findings and offer your services to the EU as an antitrust consultant!

    How is it that you have the results of this investigation already?

    Did someone jump the gun? Oh…you did.

    The EU needs a clear message to not fuck with American companies.
    Right now, it's American companies getting a very clear message not to fuck with European customers. 


    Since when is the EU the global dictator for how things are made and what is sold? 
    You’re not actually arguing that the EU is not the „dictator for how things are made and what is sold“ IN THE EU? 

    I mean…you might be, but WTF?

    God forbid you make the best product.
    If they have the best product then why do they need the exclusivity deals?

    Oh, please. It's called a good business decision. If customers don't want your product they won't sign them.
    Who is the European glass producer pushing this agenda anyway?
    Well then, if they just have the best product, and everybody's using them just because of that and paying exactly what their products are worth, then THEY HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. 

    Good!
