Major Publishers Consider Blocking Search Indexing to Escape Google's AI Answers

Major publishers are reportedly considering blocking Google from indexing their content as a drastic measure to get it removed from the search giant's AI-generated answers. The move would be a significant escalation in the ongoing dispute between media companies and Google over AI Overviews, which critics say deprive publishers of traffic and violate copyright. Opting out of indexing would effectively mean disappearing from Google search results entirely.
