You have to admire the sheer audacity of Google. It's a monopoly and now it wants to get out of the EU search judgment by forcing competitors to PAY to be part of a ballot screen on Android. Amazing scenes https://t.co/AqzJOgcauV pic.twitter.com/bRh1aWYFiM

This is insane. @vestager should be embarrassed at her failed approach to Google. https://t.co/gISU6qp2lJ

Google will charge search providers to be the Android default in Europe https://t.co/a7aGqavI6R via @Verge ?

Let me get this straight, #Google got fined $5 billion fine “illegally tying” Chrome and Search to Android. Their solution is to let you pick when you set up your phone, but the choices will be determined through top 3 in a sealed-bid auction + Chromehttps://t.co/9SKn0NVHDn

1/ This is really disappointing news. Ecosia is a not-for-profit search engine - we use our revenue to plant trees in areas affected by deforestation or desertification, not to get into bidding wars. https://t.co/17cDvC6knr
