Google faces EU antitrust complaint over AI overviews
A group of independent publishers, backed by nonprofits, have filed complaints saying Google's AI-generated search summaries are using their content without permission—hurting their web traffic and ad revenue.
They want regulators to step in fast, but Google says these summaries actually help sites get more clicks.
