Comment on Once Unimaginable, Publishers Are Preparing to Opt Out of Google Search
FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 day agoGuess we'll see, then. I suspect the result is going to be a bunch of websites going "huh? Where did all our traffic suddenly disappear to?"

Google’s zero-click AI search is already harming small publishers! I’m glad we have some common ground on opposing that.
Pushing for regulation against providing AI results would be a great start, which would make the step in this article unnecessary.

Trying to legislate the world to go back to the way it was in 2023 probably isn't going to work any better than DRM does.

You can, in fact, legislate to enact a better status quo. America has a history of civil rights laws that demonstrate as much.
You don’t have to “legislate the world” to make some positive change.

While I agree with your points and sentiment, the US civil rights laws (including the Civil Rights Act) are being continuously torn apart by billionaires and religious lunatics, so maybe not the best example.
Regardless, there are plenty of examples of laws succeeding in bettering the status quo going even as far back as Babylon.

Ah, one of those believe in the system guys. US story on civil rights is one of horror and oppression.
