I wish Google would finally go with the kneejerk reaction of just unlisting all these sites from Google Search and News.
I agree, pull the plug on them. Let’s see what they say then. I can’t imagine them forcing Google to list them but also pay them. Let’s see how organic traffic works for them.

Europe's not going to stop until the internet is totally burned to the ground, are they?

that's exactly what they did last year when the law came into force. Then newspapers could fill a form begging Google to accept their content for free, which most of them did. I don't know what this post refers to, haven't had time to check yet.
They have demanded Google negotiate a fair price for the ability to display the news snippets.

The latter are the ones burning the internet down with their walled gardens.

Essentially France has said Google, being a monopoly, is not allowed to refuse to provide this service. They must do it, they must pay for it.
If it’s not providing the service, it’s no longer a monopoly.
Assuming this will survive European appeal, which I don’t, one could yank all resources and cap e.g. bandwidth to Google News France. The aim isn’t to cripple the product. It’s to limit costs on a statutorily lossmaking product.

Essentially France has now said refusing to list sites unless they grant the right to do it for free is illegal. Because the only reason Google has the power to demand free access is their monopoly. They have demanded Google negotiate a fair price for the ability to display the news snippets.

news publications seems to be struggling and if google needs to support them then why not give them a little of the ads money?
