Google shows how your searches would be with the new European legislation

The European Union plans to change the legislation regarding copyright on the web. For this reason, Google has wanted to show the way in which its searches would be shown if Article 11 is approved on January 21. One of the measures in this article is that the media could collect a tax on services like Google News or Flipboard.

Since the entry into force of this legislation would mean that News, the firm's service, would disappear. In the photo you can see how the searches should be then.

Google News about to disappear

The vote will take place this January, although another must take place in March. It would not be in addition within a couple of years that the changes would take effect, in 2021, in the event that said vote is approved. The idea, which also started in Spain, is that the browser should pay money to index other content. Although the situation was not as expected, because in the case of Spain, the company opted to disable Google News completely, instead of paying.

Without a doubt, this sample of the signature is clear, seeking to exert some pressure on politicians in Europe. They aim to show the consequences of what could happen if such legislation is passed.

If approved, the firm will likely bet on disabling Google News across the European Union. For now we do not know what will happen in the vote, but surely we will know more in these weeks. They promise to be days full of uncertainty in this regard.
