Alternative title - EU takes record bribes from big tech
There are 25k lobbyists in Brussels for a reason

  Lobbying is a polite word for bribery, why would they wine and dine these Eurocrats if there wasn't something in it for them?
And it will continue to grow until we start dusting off antitrust legislation again.
