Trump condemns the EU's fine to Google while his critics make him an "idiot" on Google – BGR

The European Union hit Google with a new record well earlier this week. The EU claims that Google must pay $ 5 billion for abusing its dominant position in the mobile, the penalty for Android being almost double the previous record that the EU has perceived. The recipient of this fine? Also Google

Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump slammed the EU's decision, tying the decision somehow to his trade war against the Union. All the while, a different story of Google and Trump has grown in importance over the last few days as people have discovered that the search for "idiot" now delivers a large number of photos of the president. Both events, however, are not related.

"I told you so!, Trump began his tirade against the EU." The European Union has just fined five billion dollars to the EU. 39, one of our big companies, Google. They really enjoyed the United States, but not for long! "

As much as it seems that the EU fine against Google may to be the result of Trump's comments on trade with the Union, this is probably not the case.The EU started its Android investigation well before Trump took office, and well before that commercial wars do begin .In addition, the Android investigation is that one of the three antitrust investigations of the region and the second a multi-billion dollar fine.

The remark Trump's statement that "but not for a long time" suggests that he is going to do something about it.We do not know what, or if he has any authority whatsoever. Google has confirmed that it will appeal the decision, which was fully awaited.

Earlier this year, the Trump administration brought a similar action against a smartphone maker in China, ZTE, prohibiting the company from dealing with US companies its smartphone operations. This was not an antitrust issue, however, but sanctions against ZTE violations. At the time, it was Trump who decided to intervene and overturn largely the decision in what was interpreted as a move in a different trade war, the war between the United States and China

While Trump was pushing out his usual tweets this week, something different was happening online. People have started to notice that Google Images now shows images of Trump when you search for the word "idiot". It's not Google that does, so it's not as if Google was taking a passive-aggressive move at Trump while Trump was defending Google.

just a byproduct of how Google search works. This kind of manipulation has already occurred before and will never stop again. What's going on, is that a sufficient number of people have paired Trump images with the word "silly" to the point where Google's bots have recognized the association.
