Thing is, most of these complaints are serious non issues.

I think this community exists only to complain about Microsoft. Not sure I ever see anything else.

The year isn't 2013 anymore. Bacon isn't a meme anymore.

I, for one, would be whole lot poorer and a whole lot hungrier.

Idk where you get your food from, but mine comes from a store up the road a bit and is mostly delivered using vehicles that use gasoline to deliver it there.

As a total stranger who doesn't know you a dot.

You're a douchebag.

Vaccine deniers are a truly interesting breed. Do you just not have a full grasp of biology or are you too busy getting in your head about some shit you made up?

Why do conservative "independent thoughts" always result in the dumbest shit I've ever heard?

Amazing how often user's notes disagree with your worldview isn't it?

I wonder where the problem stems from. Could they all be wrong?

No no it's the one just before step 3

Myanmar, as a country, has a GDP of 62.26 billion usd.

Google has a market cap of 2.17 Trillion usd and made a profit of $305 billion usd last year.

Google makes more money in profit than moves through Myanmar in a year by nearly 5 times. If Google chooses not to operate in their country because of some law they don't like, what's to stop them?

Google definitely has national government level influence, especially considering the pervasiveness of their product suite. Implying that they're above the law might be too far, but they for sure influence it.

If the most extreme happens and Google decided that some EU law was too much to deal with compared to the gains, a lot of Europeans could find themselves in a position where Google doesn't operate in their country. Imagine every Android device becoming unable to use the majority of the service they operate on, or the most common browser, search engine, email service, and video streaming services simultaneously being disabled. I can't imagine the people will be very happy about that.
