The EU is signing a deal with US to reduce tariffs. Fucking weak sauce. I don't know if they'll have the balls to go through with a proper fine against Apple and Google.

I hope they do, but given how they are bending over for Trump... I gave little faith.

I know, the tariff deal is such a weak move... It's literally bending over for no reason.

As for proper fines, I believe the EU is the only place where the mega-corps actually got burned due to % of global income sanctions and fines.

It’s literally bending over for no reason.

The reason is always money. Cui bono? Obviously minority big capital stands to gain, and they have political leverage through their lapdogs. Capitalism is a cancer on society, it's incompatible with democracy and rule of law, it will always do what is expedient for profit over any other or ethical considerations.
