Google News Spain to be shut down: what does it mean?
Google news has stopped its news service in Spain and removed all links to Spanish media in it's search results due to the Google tax introduced in Spain to protect Spanish newspaper industries, not allowing Google to provide free news, which causes newspapers to lose money
I think that it highlights the power of Google that it is willing to completely withdraw ts services from an entire country, knowing that it will not be massively influenced due to the large revenues it already creates. I do however think that it probably will help Spanish newspapers to an extent as they will now have to go to newspapers for their news where they will have to pay.
