Wouldn't it be something if the EU focused on fostering a tech scene rather than attacking it. This is like the 4th time they have gone to the Google bank demanding a $1B+ ransom.

And before we "Just don't break the laws" take note of the fact the the EU has a dead tech scene. I don't know how they expect competition to grow when they block all the sunlight in their tech fields.

If you don't want Google dominating your populations technology, try creating conditions to grow a replacement.

Do you think that the adtech industry "scene" is somehow exclusive to the USA? Antitrust enforcement doesn't appear out of thin air just to throw a spanner in the works just for the hell of it, it's because the local competition complained. You may not agree with it but they are "fostering" them as you wish.
