US tech does everything it can to forcefully monopolize a market; US tech gets fined by countries who care about it.

This is a ridiculous take, the EU has a budget of 180 billion a year. People keep repeating this but its just idiotic.

> EU needs money; EU fines US tech companies. No surprise there.

And it’s just a coincidence that they chose a company engaged in wrongdoing which breaks their laws, huh?

Please, with this cynical edgelord shit.

You don’t seem to understand how the EU works, or what it even is in the first place. A hint: it’s not a singular entity when it comes to "needing" money.

It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with ideology.
