Google has told the EU that it will not comply with a forthcoming fact-checking law. The company says things are fine as they are.

    Google has behind it an incoming US government that puts US economic interests first, and relishes bullying its allies. The EU is weak, divided, and geostrategically boxed in. It will bend the knee.

      The EU is doing great. It can pay for loads of stuff with the endless fines American tech companies rack up

      The EU and its allies is bigger than Trump’s rogue oligarchy

      It’s hardly about US economic interest so much as the interests of a small in-crowd. See: tariffs.

      Yeah… In fourth grade I was taught that there is nothing like an outer foe to create inner peace. I never imagined it to be the US to accomplish that, but here we are.
