Google says it’s running the “time-limited” test because EU regulators and publishers “have asked for additional data about the effect of news content in Search.” The company says it will continue to show results from websites and news publishers located outside the EU, and it will resume showing results from EU news publishers once the test ends.
This is the EU testing what it would be like if they ditched Google, not Google testing what it would be like without the EU. The test also doesn’t impact the US.
Big tech needs to be stopped yesterday. This literally has china great firewall energy and I hate it.
This is one of the rare occasions I’m siding with Google. The news outlets are claiming that they should be paid money for those result snippets. It’s not because I’m caring for Google so much but because that stance hurts small search engines.

Europe asked Google to do this so they can monitor what kind of influence Google has.

Laws need to be different for monopolies and large player. Stop the rich from using the small as human shield for their grotesqie practice.
Not wanting to appear on Google is how we’re going to get EVEN more dailymail type shit.
A US news echo chamber at the whims of whatever they think will appease trump is going to be horrifying…
I mean, they’ve done this when places charge them money to index the news articles there.
It hardly seems reasonable to both mandate that they index a given piece of news media and that they pay a fee to do so.
