Google will test removing links to news sites from a small percentage of California users to assess the potential impact of the California Journalism Preservation Act. The bill would require Google to pay news publishers for using news content on its platform.
Google announced Friday that it will test removing links to news sites from a small percentage of California users to assess the potential impact of the California Journalism Preservation Act should it pass.
This is why Google’s revenue keeps growing while news publishers – and not just print newspapers – can barely keep the lights on. In fact, according to data from SimilarWeb, more than half of Google searches for top news terms end without a link being clicked. In other words, more than half the time, Google doesn’t actually connect anyone to the actual source of the news.
