Hardly. The lesser evil perhaps, but in any context that includes Google there’s never a doubt who’s actually the bigger culprit.

In this case, it includes anyone referencing any publications. Like this post right here.
If publishers had their way, then lemmy.ml, and kbin, and you, and me, and all the instances on the Fediverse making an “unauthorized copy” of any part of the content, would have to pay.

And in your understanding, Google are somehow superheroes swooping in from on high by … putting the thumbscrews on a union website?
I get you have an undefined grudge against publishers, but you’re kind of off the mark here.
