Would that work in this case? I’d expect that to function like a massive multi-armed bandit test, but I’d assume (without any insider knowledge) that Google already does that internally anyway?

Would it be “better” (given the regulatory goals) to order Google to do XYZ and provide an audit trail to demonstrate compliance?

Problem is new issues will keep cropping up every 2 days. And govt regulators have to keep reacting.

Putting pressure on Google requires seriously increasing competition.

Let the local units rebrand and compete against each other. Maybe even auction them off to other big players. Whatever needs to be done to even the playing field. Google need a nice kick in the ass for their own good health.
