谷歌「首選來源」功能轉移AI搜索控制權
谷歌推出了首選來源功能，讓用戶手動選擇媒體，但這實際上是在ai生成答案取代傳統鏈接之際將責任推給用戶。
google introduced preferred sources, allowing users to manually select news outlets to prioritize in search results. this move coincides with ai-generated answers increasingly replacing direct links to external sites, turning independent publishers into raw material for google's systems. the company faces pressure to reduce risks to media pluralism under europe's digital services act. by forcing manual configuration, google can claim user agency if results suffer, while favoring compliant partners like reddit over publishers who demand copyright compensation. this effectively sidelines reputable journalism in favor of content sources that do not legally challenge google's data usage.
