Not defending the law, but yes, at the moment where Google is hosting that information, it has effectively become another source and seems fair to treat them the same as a source.
They could get out of it by not being a source.
Say you search "John Doe crimes". Consider these Google results:
1) <some url>
2) <some url> John Doe was accused of kicking a baby in Brussels...
In case 1) Google is just pointing you to a url and isn't a source. In case 2), Google is hosting some of the content itself and has become a source. So any law that says "if you have the story about John Doe kicking the baby, remove it", then it should apply to the summary Google gives in 2.
