        @BBCBreaking Not quite sure I understand this? Why should they be made to promote products that aren't their own? Makes no sense...

        @BBCBreaking What a waste of time... What about Google not promoting Bing? Or Apple not promoting Android? Or Tesco not promoting ASDA?

        @BBCBreaking they were fined for promoting their own product? Glad the EU is using their time wisely.
