We need to stop with this ancient idea that AC is problematic against the environment. There are quite a few uninformed comments on this thread. Just by using their AC also in the winter to heat their houses instead of traditional heating s

What I find interesting, is the great number of people - specially in the last decade when reading 1984 suddenly became popular - that keeps telling us all that Orwell's works are a warning specifically against fascism and point Orwell

That fine qualifies as a "slap in the hand" for Google if it happens infrequently enough (which is the case).

What is sad is that the EU commission doesn't take real action against Google. At best we are to expect a slap in the hand, at worst, the investigations will drag on and nothing will happen.
