      The court still has to decide. Final verdict this august. There absolutely no way Google doesn’t call upon the current administration to help out. Let’s not celebrate before the final verdict. We don’t know whether it’s really final either or whether google can appeal, because if they can, it’ll probably take a few years before anything really happens. Maybe we’ll even see a new administration by then.
