It's scary how all top comments are essentially pointing out how unfair it is for Google.

This is the tech version of people starting a $100M GoFundMe for Kylie Jenner to reach a net worth of $1B.

I do care about companies that abuse their position as a monopoly. I think its probably right that Google gets fined for not allowing companies to sell Android forks. What I have a problem with is that if a company is doing some standard business practice, like paying a different company to exclusively use their product, that is okay when they are a not a monopoly but that suddenly become not okay because they have been successful.

They only care that their darling tech firms get to keep making money and 'making the world a better place'.

Fuck the laws and regulations in the countries in which they do business apparently.

You should understand that Americans have a very opinion on manufacturers & carriers than Europeans. I haven't owned a European handset but manufacturers & carriers before Google and Apple told them to fuck off were notorious for bundling crapware with their phones. For the simple fact that if I buy an "Android" phone I can be sure it comes with a baseline of decent software is seen as a good thing to most.
