Paris court orders Google to halt a project removing EU publishers' articles from search results.

A Paris court has ordered Google to stop a project that could remove articles from European Union publishers in search results. The SEPM union, representing French magazine staff, filed an emergency injunction, claiming the project would suppress some media articles. Google described it as a limited test to assess the impact of EU publisher content on user search experience. The court's order comes amid disputes over compensation for news content usage. Google plans to test the removal for 1% of users in several EU countries.
