Google's AI Overviews hit by EU antitrust complaint from independent publishers

Google's AI-generated search summaries face antitrust scrutiny in Europe. Independent publishers filed a complaint with the European Commission, alleging harm to their traffic, readership, and revenue. The complaint argues that Google's practice unfairly disadvantages original content and reduces click-throughs to source articles. Publishers seek interim measures to prevent irreparable harm to competition and ensure continued access to news.
