You've gotta see this: Google's quarterly earnings now feature a dedicated line item simply labeled 'European Commission fines'—sitting at $10.5 billion as of Q3. Think about that for a moment. The EU's regulatory machine has gotten so intense that corporate penalties aren't even considered anomalies anymore; they're just... expected business expenses. Line items in financial statements don't lie. So what's really going on in Europe? Is this the cost of aggressive tech regulation, or are we watching an overcorrection that's redefining how global companies operate?

The EU really wants to drain the tech giants, with a $1.05 billion fine becoming a fixed item... hilarious

The EU treats tech giants as cash cows, with Google alone facing fines that are listed as separate items... Is this still regulation?

The EU is really going to fine tech giants to death. 1.05 billion has become a regular expense, it's outrageous.
