>To start, we have signed partnerships with local and national publications in Germany, Australia and Brazil Australia was/is gearing up to force Google to pay. Was anything similar brewing in Germany or Brazil? https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/making-facebook-and-google-pay-for-australian-news-is-a-wake-up-call-20200419-p54l7s.html https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/making-facebook-and-...

Yes, Leistungsschutzrecht (ancillary copyright for press publishers). They tried to force Google (and others) to pay, but instead of paying, Google asked "give us permission to use your content or we'll have to delist you", and many obliged, while other aggregators suffered. I believe in Spain Google News just outright shut down.
