I’m confused. They said if Google wants to use it, they have to pay, so Google went to remove it, and now they’re saying Google can’t remove it?

Google is trying to pick and choose who to filter out of results.

The SEPM claims that Google was preparing to test a scheme that would exclude articles from specific media outlets with which it is in dispute over rights to online news content.

  Yeah. They said they didn’t want Google to do anything without paying, so Google is removing them. Is that not what they wanted?

  If those sites think that being linked to is a service they’re providing Google (which demanding payment implies), then Google is just fulfilling their wishes.
