I wonder if this will turn into the equivalent of music streaming. Where there's a pot of money that's allocated to different sources. Regardless this is going to negatively impact the current news business model (as do ad blockers and sites that prevent paywalls)

Behind which curve and how so?

There are plenty of European businesses, our salaries don't grow on trees.

the events of the past month are a very clear indicator that EU bureaucrats are borderline delusional.

I wish the US would call their bluff and avenge those bullshit fines sevenfold with tariffs.

Yeah, everyone in the EU is just working on this one law case. The guy next to me just cooked the meals for the guy that made the paper the case was filed on and now has to take an extended break. /s

People can and will do many things at once, like actually pursuing monopoly issues AND trying to improve the situation for everyone else. Its almost like there is only limited amount of one thing: space on page 1 of media outlets.

This style/tone of discourse is really disrespectful and not very interesting.

The EU is a big place with a lot going on. You will persuade more people and learn more if you engage in a more open style.

No startup is as big as Google Search. They're far from being hindered by this EU investigation.

Business like Dollar General[1] can't operate in Europe due to those pesky regulations. Only Americans can benefit from their services. Europeans are falling behind. So sad!

Somewhat more difficult to run a business when an American multinational steals your revenue and your content.

On the other hand, the complainer mentioned is the Daily Mail.

I'd much rather see a non specific ruling over whether or not summarizing already short articles is copyright infringement - regardless of who's doing it. Copyright litigation and legislation tends to favor the richer party no matter where it happens.

Newspapers are notorious for lifting stories and photos from social media. They rarely bother to compensate the original creator either.

I keep hearing this, especially on X which now hates the EU because it has fined X.

People need to understand that U.S. "tech" is barely considered tech in the EU as far as social media platforms and search engines go. You could cut off the Magnificent 7 completely and the EU would switch to new data sources and operating systems within a month.

U.S. "tech" is mostly entertainment, and the EU has also been behind Hollywood for the mass market movies for a long time.

That's accountability-washing in action.

> I’m often horrified to follow them down the rabbit hole and see it is a Redditor’s comment.

Genuine question, how are you able to do that? Searching by exact matches with some portions of the AI suggested "response"? Some other method?
