How does this new law work? If Google doesn't want to pay media for content, couldn't they just not have newspaper links in their search results? Why would they have to pull out of all the other things that people search for?
- nailer 6y agoExcellent question, particularly because the aricle merely states: > that would force tech giants like Google and Facebook to pay media companies for their content. What's they're omitting: the rule forces Google and Facebook to include big media sites. Always be wary of the media reporting on the media.
- Isinlor 6y agoBecause the law would explicitly forbid them to provide services if they do not agree to forced negotiations. Pretty much "Our way or the highway" and seems like Google my by preferring the highway.
- flukus 6y agoThey're forced to include newspaper links and to disclose their algorithm. The whole thing is a boondoggle for Rupert Murdoch, even our government funded media is excluded.
- m0llusk 6y agoIt doesn't work. That is why we have this conflict.
