It is logical that this is not the end, Google has tried for more than a decade to use some dirty tricks and until now it has always hit its teeth on a rock. It's an eternal game of cat and mouse between Google devs and other devs that override it. Now also helped by the EU and consumer associations that have already obtained million-dollar fines from Google, Fakebook, MS and Amazon for these abusive practices. Users in the US may have problems, because there corporations can roam freely because there are no laws that prevent them from doing so.

Every day I wake up and I'm grateful that I don't live in the land of freedom /s

But seriously, a few million is nothing for these corporations, EU needs to up the game

Yes, but trusting only in the politicians and the bureaucracy, well.... I think that the users themselves should have the initiative too, to do without in the most possible of products and services from the USA, at least those of large corporations and use the most products and services from the EU. It is the consumer himself who determines the market, corporations, to sell create needs where there are none, we must get out of this model and demand what we really need and not blindly use what these corporations say we need.
