Let’s hope so, yet I don’t think this will happen.
The current oversight processes are absolutely useless against these billion-dollar companies. Even the fines against Meta and Apple under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in April 2025 were surprisingly low. Remember, fines can be up to 10% of the company’s total worldwide annual revenue. While fines of €200 million or €500 million, respectively, sound a lot, it could have been in the billions.
That’s the next antitrust trial for Alphabet. I hope Ribera squeezes them to the bone.

The fines go up every time they get fined. Iirc the next fine will be in the billions.
