They're just not willing to pay since there's no revenue benefit to search hosting it. It seems like Danish media doesn't like this and has chosen to withhold their content, which is their right of course, but it seems strange to contort that into a claim that Google is doing censorship.
No it doesn't. It it inhibits the ability of people in Denmark to discover domestic news articles through GOOGLE search. A subtle but hugely distinct difference, making your point quite moot.
I think it's ok if the highly productive parts of society subsidize the crucial-but-low-productivity areas (healthcare, education, etc).
Otherwise this happens https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/te... See all the important careers on the bottom right of the first graph. Then your people elect fascists because the media and education systems suck and they don't know any better.
This is just a shakedown of American companies.
Google makes a lot of money off monopolizing advertising in Denmark. They are just playing hardball, they don’t think they can be replaced.
It sounds like their government needs to do even more subsidizing if they're really that reliant on US companies to pay their bills.
> Denmark isn’t just resisting U.S. tech; it is one of the few nations actively building its own sovereign alternatives for critical infrastructure.
> In Rogaczewski’s view, sovereign digitization is not just a defensive measure against Silicon Valley; it is the only way to maintain the welfare state in the 21st century.
It'll just take a while cause Google is so big.
But it is paid by the CIA and US (_witb CIA_) is our friend.
Maybe instead of _saying_ he shall _act_. But yes, i know, he's a politician.
Facebook wouldn’t have any vested interest in the far left, the far right, the far up or the far down in the EU if the EU wasn’t giving them reasons to take an interest. If the parties in power were really worried that Facebook was going to be the difference-maker, they could undercut the opposition and remove the issue entirely by rolling back their needless regulations and keeping their own desire to overstep their authority and dictate terms to foreign enterprises in check.
That's not logically necessary.
Actually, there’s quite a bit of reactionary political theory regarding the weaknesses of liberal democracy and how they can be exploited, especially concerning the concept of the “friend and the enemy”. It’s an incredibly powerful tactic to make the people believe that liberal democracy is not up to the task of navigating the rough waters of “extraordinary times”, nevermind if those extraordinary times are imagined or even manufactured. No, only a strong, decisive, and unencumbered executive can save us.
