“Internet giant Google has warned it would exclude French media sites from its search results if France adopts a law forcing search engines to pay for content, in the latest confrontation with European governments.  A letter sent by Google to several French ministerial offices this month said it ‘cannot accept’ such a move and the company ‘as a consequence would be required to no longer reference French sites,’ according to a copy obtained by AFP.  France’s new Socialist government, which is open to helping struggling media companies, warned Google that it should not threaten democratic governments.”
