    Stock market value isn’t how much money a company has. And Google “only” made 132 billion in 2025, revenue isn’t income. So 1 billion is almost 1% of their global income for the entire year. It’s not a small amount. On top of that they only made 33 billion in revenue (not income!) in the European market, so it’s an even higher percentage, more like 12% of their income for the entire year.

    It’s a fucking huge amount for any market to be fining Google. Yeah it’s nothing in comparison to their global worth, but you’re acting like they’re going to get fined out of existence which will never happen.
