This is pretty bad. It would have been way better to post nothing than to post this. If you want to have a community, then treat your community like intelligent humans. And to be clear, you absolutely _depend_ on the good will of your commu

Right, so like I said, their only benefit is to their brand. It preserves the expectation that Google is the best place to find everything. And the French law applies to all companies in Google's position, not just to Google. So the th

Google news doesn't have ads. There's no money to lose. The whole concept France is pushing has been ludicrous all along. There's no revenue to share or for Google to lose. It's just a free service. Just free. No ads. No
