I hope they all get fucked. This law should have been brought to light like 10 yrs earlier. So much market consolidation could have been prevented and so much capital extraction would not have happened. I hope this works.

What I like about this posturing is that the big tech dogs have given up trying to fight the EU. They know that the law makers are serious about enforcing their rules, and the market/fines are too large to ignore.

They've moved fully over trying to circumvent the law, or get exemptions. Historically, the EU has not been kind to that either.
