EU regulators just launched a probe into Google's AI practices. The big question? Whether they're scooping up web publishers' content without playing by competition rules.

This could reshape how tech giants handle data for training their AI models. Could decentralized alternatives gain ground if centralized platforms face stricter scrutiny?

Google has been targeted again, this time regarding data training... emm I feel like these big companies should have been investigated long ago; free content usage is just too outrageous.

Google is under investigation again... This time, it directly hits the pain point of AI training. Publishers finally have someone to speak up for them.

Google got fined again, but will this time really make a difference? It feels like the EU just talks tough, but in the end, it's always just a small fine and that's it.

Haha, Google is being investigated again. I knew it, lately all the big AI model training is just feasting on the big players. Now the EU has caught them.

Ha, it's the same old story again—the "antitrust drama" that even Buffett would approve of. Is the spirit of Web3 decentralization being prematurely accelerated like this? When it comes to content aggregation, according to the supply and demand curve, it's just the "bubble-era artwork" of traditional internet—built on the creative floor price of others. Google's move perfectly illustrates bear market philosophy: trying to get data for free but getting caught... Honestly, if the EU really gets serious this time, DAO governance mechanisms might be the last lifeline. Let's watch and cherish what we have.

Google is under scrutiny again, this time over AI training data... Honestly, it's about time they looked into this. How much free content have large models consumed?

Let's look at the data—just how much content has Google absorbed? That's the key issue. Can this EU investigation really shake the monopoly of centralized platforms? That remains to be seen.

Google is under scrutiny again, this time by the EU, haha, the content plagiarism issue is back... But to be fair, centralized giants will have to pay the price for data monopolies sooner or later, right? The Web3 side has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
