The Google Slap… AHEM… STAB!
France looks like a cute puppy.
But one hell of a bloody bite!
Titled “France Is Slapping A Fine To Google for Abusing Search Advertisers” …
… France is giving Google a hefty fine of $167 million!

Scene one: Kids playing with rules and money.
If I give KID A a set of rules, $10, and tell you to run the “biz” and you obey the rules… all is good, right?
But one day, KID B slaps and stabs KID A for practicing healthy judgment because there was a miscommunication with KID A and the KID B.
Who is wrong here?
Mega giant Google won’t go bankrupt. It’s just a delay. A signal. A way of moving money around.

A way for France to say ” I don’t know the business, I know power!”
