Article #6


Spain moves to protect domestic media with new 'Google tax':content aggregators such as Google News, in an effort to protect its print media industry."

The "Google Tax" means that whenever an online service posts a link to a news article. That service is required to pay a fee to the organisation representing Spanish newspapers. Failure to pay could mean a fee of up to €600,000.

As said in the article, I think this is just another form of censorship. Because who would risk €600,000 to post a link?
