The newspaper-linking tax seems just plain stupid to me. Can't the newspapers just ask Google to remove their content if they don't want it being used for free

The newspaper-linking tax seems just plain stupid to me. Can't the newspapers just ask Google to remove their content if they don't want it being used for free? Am I missing something about how Google News operates?
France's newspapers are suffering the same as newspapers anywhere, but France is more than willing to prop up a failing industry any way they can instead of forcing them to modernize.
