Denmark: Union website deindexed by Google in the firm’s latest search experiment

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In this case, it includes anyone referencing any publications. Like this post right here.
If publishers had their way, then lemmy.ml, and kbin, and you, and me, and all the instances on the Fediverse making an "unauthorized copy" of any part of the content, would have to pay.
And in your understanding, Google are somehow superheroes swooping in from on high by ... putting the thumbscrews on a union website?
I get you have an undefined grudge against publishers, but you're kind of off the mark here.
