I don't think starting with a conclusion, only looking at the fines instead of the charges, ignoring factors that could influence the outcome (eg. EU companies being more familiar with EU regulations and regulators, for better or worse), and cherry-picking will give you a good opinion on how the EU works.

I expect this line of explanation. You can always start with a hypothesis. I started with one, that EU targets Big American tech.

I did not include Meta's 1.2 billion Euro fine. For the sake of brevity.

Now, that you understand, I do my homework, all you have to do this -- give me a European company that was fined Billion Euros for anti-trust. One case.

(not group of companies or European company a defendant among 10 companies being fined).

I could not find one.

Self-deception is not my field of mastery!

Yeah, once again, disregarding the actual charges. I don't want to say you're wrong, just that looking at the fines is, in my opinion, not a good measure and doesn't give a good picture.
