So is Google promising continuation of services before turning them off?

in the hypothetical scenario where France tries to enforce a huge fine and Google says no thanks, France pushes and then Google turns off service it would be crippling. Google has a lot of power in that sort of negotiation.

Which is why I think it was only a token 0.05% of global revenue for the fine rather than 4%

I'd expect law signatories to raise an eyebrow. The purpose of the law is different.
