GE, Lockheed, Boeing, Monsanto, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Adobe, and now Google. You're really nobody on the global scale if you're not targeted or vilified in Brussels at one time or another. Sometimes both.

Waah, waah, waah,
give me a break. The US never hesitates to push for its own economic advantage and often enough resorts to outright protectionism. Foreign ownership is not allowed for TV stations and airlines in the US. Financial companies are shaken down by the Treasury for alleged sanction violations.
We shouldn't even talk about the outright nationalism that surfaced when the US Air Force looked like buying Airbus planes as tankers.
With US tech companies being the willing helpers for US espionage and with US courts demanding the handover of emails of foreign users that aren't stored on US servers, any company has to be completely reckless to use US companies for the storage of sensitive data.
If anything, US companies haven't been kicked enough.
Anyway, I wonder what this has to do with ebooks and what a political thread is doing here under "ebook-news"?
