on what is this based.
the EU commision distroyed roaming between EU members, and im pretty sure they had all the lobiying from mobile operators to not do it.
That's not what democracy is. Also the EU has been shamed as undemocratic since their representatives are not elected by popular vote. People do vote for who represents them as a country in the EU but I doubt any of them had a choice in the Google fine.
It's actually called authoritarianism - when pushing what government wants violates other people's rights to do business as they please even if it isn't criminal activity.
