European publishers submit a complaint about an Overview of Amnesty International from Google: Report
I have drawn the controversial Google Summary SummaryAnti -monopoly complaint in the European Union From a group of independent publishers.
The complaint, dated June 30 and submitted by the independent publishers alliance, Google is accused of misuse of its dominant location In online search by promoting its summary created by artificial intelligence on links to the original content.
Providing the independent publishers alliance, He saw ReutersRequests that the European Commission will impose temporary measures to prevent what it describes as “irreplaceable damage” to publishers.
“The basic search engine service of Google offends the abuse of web content of AI’s glimpse of Google in Google Search, which caused, and continues to cause great harm to publishers, including news publishers in the form of traffic, readers and revenue loss,” The complaint claims.
The measures spent by the court come at a time when the dissolved data revealed that an artificial intelligence overview has led to a decrease in the number of more than 50 American news fields to a decrease in traffic on an annual basis since its launch in May 2024, according to the digital intelligence company.
A similar report also found that artificial intelligence summaries led to a A significant increase in the frequency of “zero clicks” to search inquiries.
The percentage of web search operations related to news that ends without click to a news site to 69 % in May 2025 of 56 % in the same month last year, as found similar.
A spokesman for the Competition and Markets Authority, the European Union Anti -Monopotic Agency, confirmed that it had received the complaint.
“Last week, we suggested that Google set with the strategic market status in advertisements and search for search. If appointed, this will allow us to provide targeted standards to address specific aspects of how Google operates the UK search services,” the actor said.
Artificial intelligence overview is summaries created using Google’s artificial intelligence models and displayed at the top of the general search results. The feature is available in more than 100 countries. Google began to integrate ads into an artificial intelligence overview last May.
Publishers claim this Google’s practice to display its own summaries Above terrorist connections, the original content defects are worse due to the lack of publishers to control how their materials are used.
“The publishers who use Google Search do not have the option to cancel the subscription from their materials to train the GOGLE and/or from crawling to get summaries, without losing their ability to appear on the general search results page of Google,” she claims the complaint.
The open web movement, which includes its advertisers and digital publishers, and Foxglove Community Community Community, are also signed by the complaint.
The three organizations seek an organizational intervention to address what they say is an urgent threat to compete and reach the news.
Rosa Kerling, the director participating in Foxglove, said that the consequences of an artificial intelligence overview of the news publishers are severe.
“Independent news is facing an existential threat: an overview of Amnesty International from Google,” said Rosa Kerling, the director participating in Foxglove.
“For this reason, with this complaint, Foxglove and our European Commission partners, along with other organizers around the world, urge to take a position and allow the independent press to withdraw.”
A Google spokesman defended the feature of an artificial intelligence overview and clashed with the description of its influence on publishers.
“The new artificial intelligence experiences in the research enables people to ask more questions, which creates new opportunities for content and companies to discover them,” said Reuters.
Google added that the company sends billions of clicks to web sites every day and that traffic fluctuations can be affected by many factors.
“The truth is that the sites can be acquired and lost traffic for various reasons, including seasonal demand, user interests, and regular algorithms to search,” the spokesman said.
The allegations contained in the European Union complaint are hesitant to have a similar argument in a lawsuit filed in the United States by the Education Technology Company, which claims that an overview of Amnesty International in Google erodes the demand for original content and destroying the competitiveness of publishers, which leads to a decrease in traffic and subscriptions.
