> You cannot expect a public body to take a legal conclusion with significant financial impact on the basis of a single citizen report or in reply to that report. This takes analysis, technical and legal work, etc. So your expectation that they respond to your message eith something akin to "of course, you provide evidence of a breach. I, the single case officer responding, confirm the facts are true. Thanks for telling us we will now fine them 5 billion" is a bit unreasonable.

Both judging or supporting are conclusions. The message is more supporting than necessarily required and that also can have a significant financial impact. If there is even some unclarity, they should just state that they are investigating it, while noting that DMA may allow this. Otherwise this creates foothold for Google, which is not fair either.
