EU hammers Google with record $2.7 billion antitrust fine for illegal search manipulation
And here you prove that you do not get this at all.SpamSandwich said:
All complete hogwash. No one is forced to buy or use any of the services in question here.clemynx said:

Google has a large share of search because people are lazy and not well informed. That doesn't make them a monopoly. Plus, idiots voluntarily choose to buy cheap Android phones instead of Apple, so they are 100% responsible for contributing to the fortunes of Google.rotateleftbyte said:
You could not be more wrong. Google has a virtual monopoly of search (>80%) so they have to play fairly. Promoting their own products and services above those of a competitor is an abuse of that market. That gives a freer and more equal market than otherwise.ike17055 said:The European elites continue to demonstrate that they have no real understanding of free markets and competition.
This is just the same old EU blackmailing tactics they've pulled on Apple, Microsoft and others.
You think that the American dream is real and that customers have a choice. I think you are naive, that the American dream has been shown to be a lie, that the US are a big scam, that consumers only have the illusion of a choice and that big companies prey on their consumers.
Incapable EU politicians are poison to free markets.
This is not about end consumers. It's about competing companies that want to appear in search results and can't compete with Google Shopping's prominent placement.

This ruling has nothing to do with a monopoly.SpamSandwich said:More evidence the EU is composed of incapable children. Google doesn't have a monopoly, you European twits. Ever heard of DuckDuckGo, for cryin' out loud? Are you people remotely capable of figuring this out? Wow.

Nonsense. This decision is precisely defending European consumers. Nothing elite about it. Quit defending megacorporations instead of actual consumers.ike17055 said:The European elites continue to demonstrate that they have no real understanding of free markets and competition.
