Google starts blocking news articles in California to push back against bill forcing payment to publishers, comparing the action to blackmail.
Pending California law aims to make tech companies pay for news content, critics liken Google's resistance to 'blackmail.' Google executive says the pending legislation may limit services if passed.
California Journalism Preservation Act criticized by Google as the wrong way to aid journalism, warning of potential changes in services offered to Californians and traffic to publishers.
Restrictions on California news articles viewed as temporary and affecting a small percentage of Google users, part of a familiar response to legislation pushing for tech giant support of news industry.
