      You’re so out-of-touch if you believe that the EU is against this.

      It’s especially weird coming from an apparent German. You know all that rhetoric about how the internet is no “wild west”. That means locking everything down. Only the properly licensed professionals are allowed to do stuff with properly regulated tools. That’s how it goes in Germany.

      This stuff is what Google is supposed to do.

        This is a matter of anti-competitive behavior and market manipulation. And historically, the EU has always been against that (especially if it’s detrimental to them, of course).

        They’re in favor of regulation, but definitely not of individual companies handling it.

            Anti-competitive practices are business or government practices that prevent or reduce competition in a market. Antitrust laws ensure businesses do not engage in competitive practices that harm other, usually smaller, businesses or consumers. These laws are formed to promote healthy competition within a free market by limiting the abuse of monopoly power.

            It’s exactly what these words mean.
