And it's probably really good, this story as an example, to be in second place, when the first place runner is doing illegal things, under investigation in a dozen countries or more, and likely to face major repercussions going forwards. Being number two means you're number one when the leader gets knocked out of the race.
Not saying I support this new law, I don't really have an opinion of it. But it does seem like losing Google won't utterly cripple the ability to use the internet which is comforting.
