That sounds like the threat isn't credible because they came back.


They came back after the law was repealed.


They didn't repeal it, they modified it.


Citation? I'm not seeing that anywhere.


What sources are you looking at?


I'm not playing this game. I'm not claiming that the law was or wasn't repealed; I don't know. You're the one making the claim that it was repealed. Cite a source or you're just making things up.


You saying "I'm not seeing that anywhere" assumes you made the effort to look. People aren't going to do the homework for you. I don't have anything to prove. Google it and click the first result.


> You saying "I'm not seeing that anywhere" assumes you made the effort to look.

I did, and it's not a good faith argument to claim otherwise.

> People aren't going to do the homework for you.

You're the one making the claim. It's your homework, not mine.

> I don't have anything to prove.

You made a claim, so it is in fact yours to prove.

Given your refusal to back up your claim, it's beginning to look like you are just lying.

EDIT: I am seeing that there was an adoption of an EU regulation which modified the law, not repealed it, which is pretty different from the claim you're making[1]:

> BRUSSELS, June 22 (Reuters) - Alphabet (GOOGL.O) , opens new tab reopened Google News in Spain on Wednesday, eight years after it shut down the service because of a Spanish rule forcing the company and other news aggregators to pay publishers for using snippets of their news.

> Madrid last year transposed European Union copyright rules, revamped in 2020, into legislation, allowing media outlets to negotiate directly with the tech giant.

To be clear: Google is still required to pay publishers in Spain: the change is that the price is negotiable.

So, it's becoming clear now why you refused to link a source: because you are wrong. And since now I am making a claim, I'm linking it:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-news-re-opens-spai...

You know, the link upthread.
