Big tech needs to be stopped yesterday. This literally has china great firewall energy and I hate it.
Europe asked Google to do this so they can monitor what kind of influence Google has.

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.
EU: You have to pay to show our news.
Google: Ok. We won't show your news.
EU: Pikachu face
That's what basically happened in Germany like 10, 15 years ago when the first publisher had that idea. Its news stories would still show up in search results but only the headline, not that text snippet and no thumbnail image. These results were less attractive to users, so traffic from Google to those web sites crashed down by like 80, 90 percent.
In the end the publishers gave Google a free license to reproduce text snippets and thumbnails. The tightened copyright law provision wasn't repealed. Small search engines without leverage still (AFAIK to this day) have to pay.
So Google pays nothing, publishers earn nothing, upstart search engines can't afford the fees, and so Google leaves even more in power because of a law not even they wanted.
Not wanting to appear on Google is how we're going to get EVEN more dailymail type shit.
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.
A US news echo chamber at the whims of whatever they think will appease trump is going to be horrifying...
I just clicked on that link and the first headline is about Barbados, a country very clearly not in Europe. Lol
On 30 November 2021, Barbados transitioned to a republic within the Commonwealth, replacing its monarchy with a ceremonial president.
if you take a quick look at other news from Barbados, you would understand why ☞ https://www.theguardian.com/world/barbados
it was "spectacular" with Rihanna attending the ceremony ☞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWbC1H7RJHI
not that i'm a fan. I just remember reading about it, and it's only been 3 years
