The text preview underneath the search result is one thing I remember being contentious (some news websites in France took Google to court and won if I recall correctly)

For mostly the same reasons people are against AI. If you read that text, sometimes there’s no reason to visit the website, which ‘deprives’ website owners and the content creators of ad revenue they would have gotten if Google hadn’t copied the text from their website.

After all, the news is the same regardless of if it’s written on the Google result preview or on the news website itself.
