The EU has a larger population than the US, that's not a market you just leave. Also, Europe is not the same as the European Union.

    The EU has a PPP GDP of $24.05 trillion compared to the US' $25.4 trillion. That is a market of significant size and leaving it will affect Google's bottom line.

    You can compare Alabama and France all you want, that is irrelevant. Or should I perhaps start comparing Mississippi and Luxembourg?

    Lastly, I don't know if you've noticed but Google isn't the only search engine in existence. Bing, Qwant et al. will gladly fill the void that Google leaves behind.
