The geniuses at the European Commission have launched their second investigation into Google in less than a month, this time over antitrust claims relating to how the tech giant trains its AI models. They’re on a roll here: just last week, they fined X Corp €120 million over bogus ‘transparency’ issues relating to blue checkmarks…
Earlier this year, Google was fined an eye-watering €3 billion for ‘abusing’ its position in online advertising. Now the EU wants more money and is coming back for seconds. Teresa Ribera, the EU’s Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition (seriously, where do they come up with this nonsense?) said:
“Google may be abusing its dominant position as a search engine to impose unfair trading conditions on publishers by using their online content to provide its own AI-powered services. A healthy information ecosystem depends on publishers having the resources to produce quality content. We will not allow gatekeepers to dictate those choices.”
Look at the chart below. The EU makes more money by fining American companies that are actually bothering to innovate than it takes in tax from public European tech firms.
Companies like Apple have now disabled certain AI features in the EU just to avoid the hassle of dealing with Brussels’ nonsense. At this rate, don’t be surprised if a French iPhone can barely take pictures in a few years’ time. Does anyone wonder why?
