It's bad for their brand and image. They promote their ads as least intrusive. If they are so user-friendly, why would anyone get them removed? It is simple brand management.

Like US is not doing it...

Google broke EU laws on purpose - their revenue is huge from European markets, thus they should pay a huge fine. As simple as that.

And it very well couldn't. Slapping medical name to everything is not a solution either. Sometimes sleep disorder is as little as the wrong diet.

I think you should not put IT specialists from India and Poland in the one bag. Polish engineers are sometimes a bit late when it comes to the new technologies, but are very good compared to ones from, for example, Ireland.

IMO it will be the same as with weed fashion. There will be a large group of people seeing only benefits of it, lobbying it, swearing by it and not seeing a problem it might cause. And then there will be the rest.

The issue probably will be more social (sustaining people that are hooked in through social welfare) and rise in inequality.

Uber, with its history of fraud, will get huge bills in near future. While the company was acting as not caring about anyone, will get bitten by governments and unions soon for it. You cannot disturb the whole world like that. You need to obey laws and try to change/lobby them, rather than break them.

This news being offensive to him might mean he is a racist. No sane person would take this title as offensive.
