The expectation that the EU can have this much influence over American firms, to the point that they can break them up and change their business models is a pretty shocking development.

We're beginning to see the limitations of globalization. For all the anti-trust rhetoric from the US, it's unlikely it'll accept this level of over-reach without pushing back. Imagine a US company getting approval for a merger from the US and not getting approval from the EU, what happens then? Can China also grant itself this level of influence over American business?

We're definitely in the beginning stages of a new world order that's far less cohesive, with distributed levels of influence.
