  French medias and newspapers probably got too much readers

  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.

      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.

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

  Considering that some searches right now tend to be thirty different “news” sites republishing the same article… I dunno how to feel about this.

    That was always the way, big news pulled from the likes of the AP and Reuters and rephrased. A lot of today’s just isnt rephrased.
