Spain moves to protect domestic media with new 'Google tax'
- Failure to pay up can lead to a fine of up to €600,000.
- The “Google tax” isn’t the only component of Spain’s law
- That requirement doesn’t require copyright holders to go through a judge before demanding links be removed

Spain moves to protect domestic media with new 'Google tax':content aggregates such as Google News, in an effort to protect its print media industry." The "Google Tax" means that whenever an online service posts a link to a news article. That service is required to pay a fee to the organisation representing Spanish newspapers. Failure to pay could mean a fee of up to €600,000.
I think this is just another form of censorship. Because who would risk €600,000 to post a news article
