No it doesn't. It it inhibits the ability of people in Denmark to discover domestic news articles through GOOGLE search. A subtle but hugely distinct difference, making your point quite moot.
BS. If the lead provider in the market systematically excludes you from search results it's absolutely going to make it harder for people to discover your content. Kindly note I said 'a form of censorship', miss me with the binary reductionism.
Google owes Denmark nothing. The entitlement of this whole idea is quite embarrassing.
That attitude "we're gonna make a ton of money and leave you with fascism" is why US tech is not going to last in the EU in the long run. It's unsustainable, like a parasite that kills its host. Basically they're out the moment the EU doesn't need US weapons. Thank Trump for starting this push for independence.
