How would a German official break up Google? Perhaps Germany could bar them from supporting users (or products :-) in Germany, but in that bad case scenario, Google would just lose some small fraction of its business.

How would a German official break up Google?

Search separate from everything else.

but in that bad case scenario, Google would just lose some small fraction of its business.

Germany is in EU, so Google would risk losing roughly 50% of their business. But not really, in theory you could see "Baby Googles" being setup with different properties. Will they stand a chance on their own without being thrust on top of Google Search? Who knows
