honestly this fine makes sense. when i booked trains across europe last summer, google maps kept pushing their own travel services over better local options, which genuinely frustrated me trying to find real alternatives. W take on holding big tech accountable.

ngl bro google totally deserved this, they literally crushed competition by shoving their apps down everyone's throats and people acting like that's cool are just mad their favorite app didn't make the cut lol

The EU got this one right. Google systematically buried competing apps to push its own products, and I've watched smaller developers get crushed by these anticompetitive tactics firsthand. The fine should've been higher.

i get why people think it's unfair, but sometimes i wonder if breaking up integrated systems actually helps users find better apps or just makes everything worse. maybe the real problem isn't favoring your own stuff, it's that we have so few actual alternatives. honestly this needed to happen
