Hmm, they're not 'messing with' journalism or national security. They just don't care enough to index denmark journalism. I'm also not sure how denmark can strongarm google et. al. into doing anything at all. Is this incorrect, is there some sort of path forward here for denmark to get what they want?

In practice, that's a form of censorship since it inhibits the ability of people in Denmark to discover domestic news articles through search.

  But Google is willing to host their content in search, right? They're just not willing to pay since there's no revenue benefit to search hosting it. It seems like Danish media doesn't like this and has chosen to withhold their content, which is their right of course, but it seems strange to contort that into a claim that Google is doing censorship.

It it inhibits the ability of people in Denmark to discover domestic news articles through GOOGLE search. A subtle but hugely distinct difference, making your point quite moot.

    BS. If the lead provider in the market systematically excludes you from search results it's absolutely going to make it harder for people to discover your content. Kindly note I said 'a form of censorship', miss me with the binary reductionism.

      Google owes Denmark nothing. The entitlement of this whole idea is quite embarrassing.

        That attitude "we're gonna make a ton of money and leave you with fascism" is why US tech is not going to last in the EU in the long run. It's unsustainable, like a parasite that kills its host. Basically they're out the moment the EU doesn't need US weapons. Thank Trump for starting this push for independence.
