Until it stops being profitable, it really doesn't matter what you fine them. Stock price is up 5.82% over the last 30 days...

It seems to me you’re just regurgitating something you’ve heard a million times. Stock price is irrelevant, the EU has ran the numbers on googles profit from their shop searches and determined this fine exceeds that profit.

Which the EU fails to provide in their own document, so whos doing the regurgitation here?

I think the top search results which convert to direct sales over the course of 8 years is worth more. Sorry... We can debate, but the reality is many companies ad spend per year is double this number and Google has quadrupled in value since this started which is in fact relevant.
