Whatever you say Google. Hey EU, Google wants to chat with you.
Isn't it weird that EU, famous for being so fragmented that they can't decide on common interior or foreign policy, all while being ridiculed for their large and inefficient bureaucracy, still is the sole entity that manages to stand up to mega corporations?
