Is this what Google is complaining about, changing laws?

einrealist Jul 29, 2014 View on HN

Google does not do that, because it could bite them if they do and if this goes to court.

Theory: Google does not care and will cross the legal bridge when it presents itself.

Doesn't this same logic make Google entire operation illegal?

its not really google specific other than in the sense google is breaking the law; if some other company breaks the law then yes, the law should come after them too...

actually google got sued for this in multiple countries already, as the article sort of mentions

Could you make your point more clearly? Google is potentially breaking laws and being investigated for that. If Amazon or Apple are suspected of breaking those laws they should also be investigated.

Yes. Welcome to US law. Take it up with your congressman, not Google.

Do you _really_ want to go against Google's lawyers in court?

Because Google would sue them out of existence?
