EU want to break up Google

Wellcome to the EU Parliament where,,,, the EU Parliament votes to BREAK UP GOOGLE.
It’s all that damn capital success ya know.
Their vote is in responce to the charge that Google dominates the web and favours its own services in search results.
The parliamint does not actuallu have the power to break up Google, but the vote is meant to put lots of pressure on european regulators to rein in the Google giant.
This is the first time that the EU has ordered the breaakup of a company and it very significant that the company just happens to be a giant that’s known all over the world.

In fact, it might be more a move to show to show Google just who is boss among EU bureaucrats, in the form of the lady who has
taken over the job of an anti- competition case against Google, that her predecessor failed at.

The case began in 2010, it’s still open and Google could face up a $5 billion dollar fine AND, add to that, face reulation as well.
The lady’s name is Margethe Vestager, who may (time will tell) be one of those firebrands.

I do not like all aspects of Google, my bet you may not either.
But I find it hard to understand how a parliament made up of different countries could have the clout or the
right to break up an American company.
But then, look what happened to BP after the oil spill when they were bullied into paying off billions even to those who were not affteted by the disaster.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
