I sometimes wonder if this is how industries end up not innovating or solving obvious problems for decades because they get strangled with bureaucracy which doesn't solve the original problem highlighted in his own example (vendor choosing to ignore to patch a vulnerability).
And Google cannot choose to not index news site. Literally making Google a propaganda machine. How is this not clear to anyone?
The entire thing will make Google a propaganda machine for news corp and other media giants as Google can neither rank them low nor remove them from search results and be forced to pay to sustain them.
Why are people willing to protect ad ridden news industry when they hate big tech adware so much? What's the difference? Shouldn't you be against both? Have you seen how bad trackers on news site are? I would rather use Google than generic news site full of trackers from everywhere.
Everyone wants to stick it to big tech but big media is suddenly good?
Every newscorp owned site is a cess pool of nazi defender and propaganda.
Any legislation which targets specific companies so blatantly isn't good. Anything which sets a precedent for paying for linking to someone isn't a good idea.
Come up with better anti trust laws instead of whatever this is and target every big tech company.
Edit: I will be more blunt since some replies show they don't understand what I find weird:
Why do you need a private social media company to stop your president from planting terrorism in your own country because he thinks the election is fake instead of congress/government/whatever??!
I never cheated and it got me really nowhere. I was a top student throughout school but I only lost time I could have used for better if I had cheated. People don't even put little effort into cheating.
I complained about students who cheated blatantly and got punished by the teacher because he was chewed by the management. At graduation, the cheaters get the same certificate. There is almost no difference and most schools don't care about cheating but enrolling more students.
I was a fool for doing busy work for school while everyone copied or ignored it.
I don't see the world outside school as more honest. You can't change the world without political power and money and to have both, you need to be as bad as the person sitting on the throne. People care about party names, political slogans, etc more than actual work. They care about media shout outs, endorsed by celebrity, institution name etc more.
