EU mulls €3bn fine for Google

Seriously...

That is one way to hinder progress. Lets take loads of money away from someone who did a job and did it so well that everyone uses them.

When I want to watch a TV show made by the BBC; they send me to iPlayer immediately. But they could have sent me to netflix, amazon prime, itunes, google play, etc etc etc. Surely by the same logic the BBC/ITV/C4/C5/ETC need to be fined for putting their streaming service first on the list (or in fact the only one on the list).

I would love these bureaucrats to ask the population if they have a problem with Googles search practices before spending all our tax money on forcing Google to pay up.

Google really need to get around to buying an island and calling it a nation state.
