The two couldn't be more different than that. And I find it hard to believe your comment is genuine given the obvious difference.

In the most recent case, Google may have "lost" but the government got nowhere near what it was asking for either.
If Lina Khan only victory is that people are now aware that having a government this friendly with monopolies isn't normal, that's probably better than most politicians since Clinton.
The case in which the government didn’t get what it wanted was the online search case; the trial in the remedy phase of the ad tech case starts later this month, so talking about the difference between what Google would have gotten in the 1980s for that and what they are actually getting now is premature speculation.
The idea that EU is somehow a mob boss shaking down American tech companies is plain ridiculous. Just take a look at the EU-US trade balance in service and you will understand in which direction the money is actually flying.
And it’s just a coincidence that they chose a company engaged in wrongdoing which breaks their laws, huh?
Please, with this cynical edgelord shit.
