UK Watchdog Orders Google to Let Publishers Block AI Content

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has ordered Google to change how it uses publishers' content in AI-powered search results, a move with global implications.

The CMA is using powers that allow it to set bespoke rules for major tech firms deemed to have 'strategic market status', including Google.

The new rules give news websites the power to block their content from being used in AI summaries, affecting how Google's AI features operate.
