Under EU law, digital platforms have to pay for news reuse. But how much should Google pay for article previews? That’s what Google is trying to find out

You must provide a question or search query to Google by speaking into your device — and Google will provide search results in response. You can then ask follow-up questions and Google Search will update in real-time to provide relevant search results for those queries, too.

Google is conducting a “test” that will omit results from EU-based news publishers. The company says the time-limited trial will only affect a small portion of users in nine EU countries and will help “assess how results from EU news publishers impact the search experience for our users and traffic to publishers.

As Google continues to navigate its relationship with publishers, regulators, and news readers, the company is starting a pretty drastic test: it will remove news articles from European Union-based publishers from Search.

As part of Google's efforts to comply with the European Copyright Directive (EUCD), news from EU publishers will disappear in a limited test.

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) will be running a test in which they will not show results on its News, Search, and Discover platforms from EU-based news publishers, the tech giant said in a blogpost Wednesday.
