I see, it's slight and deliberate misrepresentation/under-presentation. Google did talk about it in https://blog.google/products/news/california-journalism-preservation-act-puts-news-ecosystem-at-risk/ https://blog.google/products/news/california-journalism-pres... Specifically: To prepare for possible CJPA implications, we are beginning a short-term test for a small percentage of California users. The testing process involves removing links to California news websites, potentially covered by CJPA, to measure the impact of the legislation on our product experience. Until there’s clarity on California’s regulatory environment, we’re also pausing further investments in the California news ecosystem, including new partnerships through Google News Showcase, our product and licensing program for news organizations, and planned expansions of the Google News Initiative. You could of course say it's tit for tat, as this is also somewhat misrepresentation and misleading.
