Internet giant Google has warned it would exclude French media sites
from its search results if France adopts a law forcing search engines
to pay for content, in the latest confrontation with European

"as a consequence would be required to no longer reference French
sites," according to a copy obtained by AFP. France's new Socialist
government, which is open to helping struggling media companies,
warned Google that it should not threaten democratic governments. http://www.france24.com/en/20121018-google-threatens-stopping-linking-french-...
