A petulant child does not explain the negative consequences of what he is being asked to do using metrics and specific stakeholder feedback.

It does not help consumers to have outside parties run roughshod over businesses. Regulations are necessary, but to be effective, they must be measured, in both senses of the word. To be implemented carefully, they must be subject to criticism, even by the party being regulated.

Do you have any specific concerns with the points raised by Google here?

> but to be effective, they must be measured

Google can't really be trusted to provide measurements proving that they should be regulated, though.

If they want the problem to be fairly studied, they're free to publish their datasets.

		Google is not attempting to prove that they should be regulated, they are attempting to prove the that regulation the EU is imposing is not having the effect that EU claims it has. Whether they can be trusted or not will be up to the court in the EU whenever they present evidence.

I think it's highly disingenuous of you to claim that the regulators in question are acting without any plan or purpose even if those might not be immediately clear. "If you don't like how the table is set, turn over the table."
