I'd offer anti-trust action as one of those things. Thus far Google has been let off very lightly in most cases involving the DoJ or FTC, in most cases with fines that wouldn't amount to a few days of revenue for it.
In contrast, the European Commission is adopting a much stricter approach towards it's market dominance.
But from the tone of your post it would appear that you have participated in these deals yourself. So tell me are you a lobbyist, someone who hired a lobbyist or a government official?
Oh, you are no different than me - you have no data beyond your faith.
Saying otherwise is a bold claim.
