Let's be clear: Google's troubles in Europe are entirely of its own making, and the case against the search giant is stronger than you think

If Google gets fined $6 billion for abusing its monopoly in Europe, it will mostly be Google's own fault.
Let's be clear: While the actions of various European regulatory bodies against Google sound bonkers on their face, they are based on real complaints about real things that Google has actually done. And when people outside the tech/search industry hear about those things, they don't look good.
