What a disgrace. This law is hostile to the basic principles of an open web; Google should have refused like Meta is.
I think they're more concerned about having their culture merged entirely with the United States.
So just start a government subsidy program for news, and increase corporate taxes. That would at least be honest. The lie that this is somehow compensation for something of value is the part that I can't abide. There's not even any advertising on Google News. It's literally just linking out to news articles. If you search for news topics, you usually won't find any paid links on that either. People bid on search terms related to stuff people might buy, not on hard news topics.
