Sorry, but i honestly see many more EU company being extorted in the US than the reverse ^^' (excluding the german car scandal where they deserved it, ofc).
EDIT : also, they can and are actually contesting the decision, and they are not banned from doing business in the EU until the decision review is over *AHEM* like others...

You're wrong, it's not that they never cared, it's that they were super sure everyone outside the US loved them for saving them at least thrice in two world wars sometime last decade or so and keeping them save from terrorists right now. So whenever something like this happens it can only be because of jealousy or outright war.
Friendliness has nothing to do when the law is being broken. Google will comply as they are not going to be able to sell not doing business in the EU. And they also can't pull the plug other laws in place to prevent that.
Welcome to a region that cares about it's people and doenst put companies interest before consumer rights.
If your next post is again about favoritism and ignoring the law you confirm to me you are both dishonest and a fake conservative.
This isn't about favouritism, btw. One of the biggest supporters of this decision was Yelp, another US company.

Yeah Google will comply, but one of their lessons is that you can't necessarily release the same product in two regions. Release the full version in the US, but then release a training wheels version in some other regions. Because it's not worth getting a 4 billion dollar fine every day.
It's too late for me to explain to you what happens when a public listed company is going to under go when it intentionally cut itself out of a huge consumer market.
You also keep thinking that the EU can't produce such a company or that said competitor can't be from the US also.
Shows how much you understand about the topic at hand. This isn't about a software solution gone wrong. Or different versions. The whole problem more or less only exists in the contractual situation regarding phone manufacturing companies like Samsung and what they can pre-install on the phones they manufacture. This is a contractual problem (as antitrust cases often are) and not a technical problem.
And yes, Google can and does have different contracts for the same product depending on the regional jurisdiction. Because otherwise they wouldn't be able to maintain just one contract outside the joke legal system that is common law.
