Is this a shadow trade war in response to America’s dominance in tech? I keep seeing absolutely massive fines of American tech companies in Europe, fines marked up to account for Google’s global revenues. Do they make their homegrown companies pay such outrageous fines? $1B is a staggering amount of money, probably all of Google’s profits from France for years to come.
To be clear I think France has every right to do this and Google can decide to close up shop there if they want, nobody is forcing Google to operate in an unfriendly environment.
