The Economist, not exactly a Google fan-club, takes on Axel-Springers misguided lobbying against Google. Quotes: VERBOTEN! This seems to be Germany’s default reaction to digital disrupters. And Germany’s digital phobia is driven not just by cultural memory, but also by firms that want the state to protect their business models and keep competitors out. Springer has more political clout in Berlin than any American mogul enjoys in Washington, and it has lobbied for Mr Almunia’s settlement with Google to be renegotiated.
