Trump Threatens New Tariffs Against EU Over Google Fine 175

President Trump threatened a "substantial" new tariff on the European Union after Brussels fined Google more than $1 billion over alleged illegal trade practices. "The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct, which I have consistently warned them about," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The penalties will be entirely reversed and, we anticipate, a substantial TARIFF to be placed on them at the earliest possible moment." Politico reports: The president's threat came just a day after U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer warned that the EU's action against Google -- two fines totaling over $1 billion -- could imperil the bloc's relationship with the White House. At risk: the Turnberry deal, which Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed last fall, that capped U.S. tariffs on EU exports at 15 percent. [...] But the president's social media post could signal a coming breach. "The United States of America is not a 'PIGGYBANK' for Europe, nor will we allow it to be!" Trump wrote.

I figured this would be the reaction from the luddites and preppers on this site. But no one has said why they're so worried about this other than boomer paranoia.

The terms state they can't sell your data to other companies. Worried about accidental leaks? I think a large tech company will do a better job protecting my data than secretary Karen who is my doctor's IT person.

Many people don't have the time to go to the doctor at all and are already using AI for medical advice. Much better than zero medical advice.
