Sorry for re-uploading this! As a number of people pointed out the first version of this video had issues with the audio balance, which we've now resolved - Jack

[lillywho]

It's good they're finally being challenged. If they're not regulated now, they'll be more and more powerful.

Man I just can't help but appreciate how a shared EU market makes things like this possible.

Smaller nations would have no way to regulate mega companies like this alone.

Not to mention the cost saved by having this be done once instead of 28 times with individual lawsuits and legal battles.

Sad how the EU has to step in when the US can't see its own flaws.

[mundogameplay]

“Artificial monopoly”, there aren’t better words to describe this in my humble opinion

[bramvandenheuvel]

"Is Big Tech under attack by the EU
Or is the EU working in the best interest of their citizens?"

Eh... BOTH!

[RafaelW]

I'm so happy to live in the EU, wouldn't change it for any other place. Well, maybe NZ only.

[elia_connard]

Thank god the UK go out, finally the Eu can go against big techs without the veto of the UK.

[RocketMonke]

Really happy to see the EU is doing what it's supposed to do.

[MagnaGresh]

Is it only me that thinks it's sus that right after "attack" happened, facebook and google began having downtimes/glitches/issues from time to time in the whole European Continent?

[mygetawayart]

Makes me feel safe to live in the Union, knowing that more and more regulations are being put in place against these tech giants. Hopefully new viable options will be able to emerge from these acts.

[bazooka]

Hell yeah! This makes me proud to be an European.

[sarantis]

This is probably the best thing that our European government does for all of its citizens

[HansVonMannschaft]

Remember when the EU fined Microsoft for including Internet Explorer?

[Ugapiku]

Ngl, after playing Cyberpunk I can see why EU wants to do this to monopolies :D

[ceddub]

There is some audio imbalance from 3:50.
Otherwise good video

[omgnuub]

That was a fairly quick fix on the audio, well done.

[ftsch]

I love the fact that i watch this on youtube, one of the accused ones :D

[matthewbaynham]

AUDIO PROBLEM: Everything is coming through my left speaker, except the adverts they have normal audio through both speakers.

[sirdeadlock]

I look forward to being able to delete bloatware.
