I will believe it when I see Google face consequences.

“The courts hereby decide that Alphabet Inc. will pay a fine of… 1.2 million dollars… Out of the billions of dollars they make every year” :)

Or it could be like how our competition bureau is being forced to pay $13 million to Rogers Cable for inconveniencing them with an investigation when Rogers Cable decided to buy Shaw Cable. And the deal went through. Can you imagine?
