Belgium newspapers tried to ask Google news for money for mentioning their articles. Google then unreferenced them. The newspapers gave up after a few days, as they had lost most of their trafic.

It will happen again.

Not sure if that will work now with Facebook and all.

I doubt Facebook is eager to pay that money either.

Not what I meant. I mean that now I assume newspapers get most of their traffic from Facebook instead of Google, so they won't care as much if Google delists them.
