EU Anti Trust or just Extra United (EU) Plain Jealousy?

The opening of the probe by the European Union on enquiries made by three European Internet companies against Google has many undertones.

Firstly, this development tests the level of maturity of Google in taking scathing criticism positively. By covering this negative event in its blog posting, Google has proved that it would like to bring unpleasant news in the open rather than hide it. This is a sign of the confidence of the organization in handling the “resistance posts” squarely and in a transparent manner.

Secondly, it is only when personalities become important and organizations become successful that they attract the attention and jealousy of others. For Google, this is just the case. And it should be prepared for even more as with the passage of time the number of challenges from the environment in form of cases against it through the use of international dispute mechanisms, is only expected to increase.

Thirdly, those companies who have filed their complaints must be prepared to go up to the last mile themselves and stand to public scrutiny themselves. It would have been better if they could have concentrated their efforts in beating competition by way of enhancing their technological edge rather than pursuing litigation.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is quite common to see personalities and institutions taking blinked decisions and still feel what they are doing as being the right decision. They forget that criticisms make them take a closer look at their weaknesses and address them as they feel best. There is no smoke without fire and for our modern systems to function optimally, it is the best policy that some form of criticism is now and then leveled at publicly where need be. The Internet is the open court of judgement for those trespassing the limits. It cannot be subdued because some Dick or Harry feels the prick of it and reacts in a Hitlerite style.
