American tech giants like Apple, Facebook and Google are increasingly portrayed as tax cheats, copyright infringers and privacy violators, their size and power viewed with suspicion and growing concern. As a result, some of these companies are facing sanctions as regulators, companies and individuals on the continent bring case after case against them, and in some instances even speak about breaking them up. Tech giants in Europe run up against a high degree of suspicion, or even animosity.
