GOOGLE REVIEWS AUSTRALIAN NEWS SITES “FOR TEST”
Google is currently under fire for removing some Australian news sites from their search results as part of an "experiment".
Obviously, many politicians have called this a " chilling example " of American corporate power.
The incident is the latest chapter in an ongoing stiff confrontation between Google and the Australian government, which is also considering forcing Facebook to pay local authors who share their content. On Wednesday, Google said it had "run a few experiments that will reach about 1% of Google Search users in Australia".
Google has tried to play down the fact by saying that these are tests that are carried out every year and that involve about 1% of users. Obviously, the Australian media took this very differently. Publisher Nine group spoke of the sheer overwhelming power of internet giants: “Google is now demonstrating how easily they can wipe out Australian news sources that are losing their favor, a chilling example of their extraordinary market power. "
In Australia, the government is thinking of reacting. In Europe, everyone is ready for the giants of the web.
