This is the latest outcrop of news publishers fighting Google News in Europe. Previous results have been for example the creation of additional rights for news outlets in Germany where quoting even headlines of news stories in links might now require a (paid) license from the publisher. Of course, that law has been boldly worked around by Google (they dropped news sites from the index that didn't offer free licenses) and is now entirely useless.
- gkya 9y agoWhat a disgusting shady move is that... Glad that I don't use a search engine that uses such mobbish predatory ways to extort newspapers so that it can make money off of the stories they write, and mandate what I can access or not in the meantime.
- Thiez 9y agoIs it disgusting and shady not to buy and use something when it is more expensive than you are prepared to pay? What obligation does Google have to drive visitors to newspapers' websites and pay the newspapers for doing so?
