Google broke the law? Only one thing to do, TAX AMERICANS AS PUNISHMENT! Where are those Epstein files?
- I'd say tax them like any other business and fine them because they broke the rules though.
Lets do it 300 Billion fine for google AND do the trump tarrifs!! COMMON BIG BOY! DO IT
Epstein files first, not redacted!
Trump's intervention came a day after he hosted tech titans for a gala dinner at the White House including Google's chief executive Sundar Pichai and co-founder Sergey Brin.
corruption used to be veiled and hidden...
Just up the fine after every threat. Ok president Trump, the fine is not $7 billion after a 100% tariff
All the more reason to switch to Europe-based (or at least non-US-based) services as much as possible.

  You really don’t need google, even if you think you do.
The main problem is that far too many Europeans mindlessly cling to everything google. There are plenty of suitable European alternatives. Probably not for every use case, especially in business, but more than enough to grow European tech and support European business. https://buy-european.net/en/alternatives
Not that we needed any more of'em, but let this be taken as yet another indirect direct admission from Trump.
Thats why i didnt celebrate the fine yesterday, because as long as the EU is dependent on US military support in Ukraine, they will do nothing that really pisses of Trump.
