That's 11 though (or 15 after renumbering? I assume it's intentionally confusing).
Considering how many US websites have blatanly put up a "sorry, we can't be bothered to not sell your privacy to
the highest biddereveryone, so no access for you" in response to the GDPR, I hope Google just does the "give us a free license or get delisted" thing they did before, twice.

@topspin It's lose-lose for google news.
They can't link to everyone because of this new stuff. But they also can't blacklist certain providers who don't sign a license with them because then they can't claim (or suggest) they're impartial anymore.

How so? They did exactly the same thing when this BS was tried by Spain and subsequently Germany, and the idiots budged when their traffic crumbled. The law is still in the books here but doesn't have any effect.
You can't force someone to pay you for what's basically free advertisement.

You lack vision. They should blacklist everyone, then charge them to show their articles. So anyone that doesn't pay is going to lose views to those that do, and you can't be accused of being partial, you're just providing a service.
