\u201cThe breathtaking fine of \u20ac2.4bn that the European commission has imposed on Google for exploiting its virtual monopoly of search is shocking and welcome. It shows that there is at least one polity that is prepared to stand up to the giant tech companies and try to bring them under the rule of the law. The individual countries of Europe are not large enough: Denmark, which has just announced the rather gimmicky appointment of an \u201cambassador to Silicon Valley\u201d, has a GDP only about two-thirds the size of Facebook\u2019s business. But the EU is big enough and strong enough to act. Further judgments and no doubt further fines are expected in two other cases where Google is accused of steering the market towards its own advertising businesses rather than those of its competitors.<\/div>\n
\n
The technology of the mobile internet has been a huge blessing for the world. But where it is not in the hands of undemocratic governments, it is controlled today by multinational advertising companies, which is the business that makes both Google and Facebook their almost incredible profits. However benign their intentions, the sheer size and reach of these companies makes them dangerous. This judgment represents one of the few serious attempts to manage these monopolies. It\u2019s a welcome start.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Die atemberaubende Geldstrafe von 2,4 Milliarden Euro, die die Europ\u00e4ische Kommission gegen Google wegen der Ausnutzung seines virtuellen Suchmonopols verh\u00e4ngt hat, ist schockierend und willkommen. Sie zeigt, dass es zumindest ein Gemeinwesen gibt, das bereit ist, den riesigen Technologieunternehmen die Stirn zu bieten und zu versuchen, sie unter die Herrschaft des Gesetzes zu bringen. Die einzelnen L\u00e4nder in Europa sind nicht gro\u00df genug: D\u00e4nemark, das gerade die etwas einfallslose Ernennung eines \"Botschafters im Silicon Valley\" bekannt gegeben hat, hat ein BIP, das nur etwa zwei Drittel der Gr\u00f6\u00dfe von Facebooks Unternehmen entspricht. Aber die EU ist gro\u00df genug und stark genug, um zu handeln. In zwei weiteren F\u00e4llen, in denen Google beschuldigt wird, den Markt in Richtung seines eigenen Werbegesch\u00e4fts und nicht in Richtung seiner Konkurrenten zu lenken, werden weitere Urteile und zweifellos auch weitere Geldbu\u00dfen erwartet.<\/div>\n
\n
Die Technologie des mobilen Internets war ein gro\u00dfer Segen f\u00fcr die Welt. Aber dort, wo sie nicht in den H\u00e4nden undemokratischer Regierungen liegt, wird sie heute von multinationalen Werbeunternehmen kontrolliert - das ist das Gesch\u00e4ft, mit dem sowohl Google als auch Facebook ihre schier unglaublichen Gewinne erzielen. Wie gutartig ihre Absichten auch sein m\u00f6gen, die schiere Gr\u00f6\u00dfe und Reichweite dieser Unternehmen macht sie gef\u00e4hrlich. Dieses Urteil stellt einen der wenigen ernsthaften Versuche dar, diese Monopole zu kontrollieren. Es ist ein willkommener Anfang.\"<\/p>\n
