[ NNSquad ] Re: Italian Newspapers vs. Google
everything correct, with one tiny detail: AGCM is the Antitrust Authority which is a court and has two levels of appeal. As I understand it, newspaper publishers want to understand if there's someone misbehaving doing news traffic management aimed at favouring some news sources. (is gnews process completely automatic or there can be human intervention ? I don't know). If "pete's gossips" ranks higher than "the wall street journal", wsj could well think they should complain... As far as I can tell, I was some times puzzled that a webzine that has some hundreds incoming links appeared above italy's major web properties which happen to be major newspapers' websites. It's not only related to gnews. There was a website which published web properties rankings (indexes) which seemed to be somewhat altered, they effectively were and have been corrected.
