"Investigations in the EU" means jack shit. There have also been "investigations in the EU" about whether Google is an illegal monopoly and whether Facebook needs to segregate all its data on European entities into separate European data centers.


And one of those led to Facebook being charged billions, and the others will lead to the same outcome.

"Investigations in the EU" means you’re fucked.


From the perspective of someone who actually understands modern technology, they actually mean the EU is fucked.


From the perspective of someone who sees the options of "fuck your own population over and kill all healthcare, welfare, etc" or "force companies to pay their taxes, and maybe lose some features like Germany has almost no Google services available", I’m pretty happy with the choice of free healthcare, college, etc vs. having access to Google Wallet


You're of course free to make that choice, thanks to the USA.
