Comment on EU Hits Google With $3.5 Billion Antitrust Fine
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 weeks agoThat’s not how it works. Questions is how much more money they made by breaking this specific rules. If breaking the rules allowed to increase the profits by more then 3.5B then the fine is too small. If, for example, they made only $1B extra by breaking those rules then they effectively lost $2.5B and will stop breaking them.

googles EMEA division is 29% of profits. So figure about 30k profits.

Yes but if they stop breaking the rules those profit will not fall to $0.
