Google News 大頭 Richard Gingras 的宣佈,由於西班牙通過的新法令要求引用的單位要付費,所以 Google News 決定直接關閉西班牙服務:「An update on Google News in Spain」。
This new legislation requires every Spanish publication to charge services like Google News for showing even the smallest snippet from their publications, whether they want to or not.
咦,隔壁棚不是才剛上演過類似的事情嗎:「German publisher caves to Google News after massive traffic drop」。
