"EU fines Google nearly €3bn for ‘abusing’ dominant position in ad tech", which is like... not even disputable.

For certain Trump will as a result whine about some "unfair, whaaah!" for the EU equally applying EU's laws in EU's jurisdiction to protect EU's residents against a USA HQd corporation that USA refuses to protect USA residents from the abusive market dominance practices of because of lobbyism (a.k.a. "bribes") and will as a result of that raise the prices for USA resident consumers on imports from EU again.

EU fines Google nearly €3bn for ‘abusing’ dominant position in ad tech

Regulators ordered the tech giant to end ‘self-preferencing practices’ in advertising services but declined to force sale

Yep, as predicted.
Trump crying like a colic baby about how it's "unfair" for Trump's BigTech Broligarchy member Google to be treated as everyone else doing market dominance abuse in the EU, which is not USA.
The wining and aggression based in any claimable factually real conditions, it's just a matter of affinity to the dictator, as in any banana republic.

Fuck the child rapist. Nobody obliges Goggle to do business in Europe. But if they choose to do so, they'll have to respect European laws.
