#2Small change. I'm sure Google will just write it off as "the cost of doing business".

#3It's almost like the government's around the world are waking up to the fact they can actually push back on the ultra mega corps of the world.
Or they're seeing weakness in the US and taking their geopolitical shots.

#5Quick summary: the biggest electricity provider in the country (ENEL) made an app (Juicepass) to find and manage their charging stations across the country. The Android Auto functionality of the app has been rejected by Google for non disclosed "security concerns while driving". The antitrust ruled out it was because Google wanted to sabotage competitor apps to the charging stations finder built-in in the Google Maps app. On top of the fine Google will need to provide the SDK to integrate their app with Android Auto.

Should this say “…ruled it was because…”? I can’t figure out the reason for the fine otherwise.

this is just pretending and games. it's a novel around something in the periphery, when the center is very stable and established

#8What a steaming pile of digested waste material. Have they ever thought about fixing their app? There are plenty of Android Auto apps on the store.

The existence of other Android Auto apps mean nothing. Enel is quite a large company and I am sure it has a lot of people working on its mobile applications. Besides, they are enforcing European law.

Just to explain for non-native anglophones, I think what they meant was "gave out a rule", but in idiomatic English "ruled something out" means it has been eliminated as a possibility.
