"Whores Out"? Really? Apart from the tastelessness of it, one surely "pimps out" other people, and "whores out" oneself?<p>Also putting the url domain in the title is redundant.<p>Not to mention the article's hysterical tone.<p>Anyway, IMO this whole thing is in fact very much to do with the EU, but not in the way the author thinks. The EU is actually far more concerned with privacy than with monopolies when it comes to the internet right now. As monopoly-like as google may be online, its not in the same ballpark as where MS was/is with windows and office. On the other hand, the EU is in the middle of lots of large-scale actions around privacy. Remember the cookie directives? That isn't the last of it.
