Were I Google, I’d just stop giving French news sources in any search results at all, and make them pay to even appear in the index. Let them whine a bit about Google “having” to do anything for, you know, public good or something. Because I think that internet news portals need Google more than Google needs them, in the current state of the world.
Don’t get me wrong. Google is an atrocious corporation, so are greedy media conglomerates, but watching them fight is mildly entertaining.
