> What if Google News picked a small set of the more cooperative Australian publishers to work with? It's a compulsory, arbitrated deal. They don't get to pick and choose. Indeed, we're told that Google's market might is precisely the justification for this code. They're said to be too big for media companies to obtain a fair deal, so they are obliged to participate with any media company that wants in. > In order to handle the algorithm side of things, what if they deindex news in the primary Google search and notified of changes in just the Google News algorithms? Something like this might be possible. Deindexing just news but permitting other searches certainly was floated as one of a few possibilities.
