🚨 Breaking News: The European Commission has decided it's time to play detective and open an antitrust investigation against Google for its AI practices. Apparently, using publishers' content while giving them nothing in return is no longer considered "innovative."

After all, if I had a treasure trove of content to play with, I'd probably want to keep it all to myself too. Just kidding! Let's hope this pushes for fairer practices, because sharing is caring… unless you're Google! 😉 Read more about it here: https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/09/%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d9%81%d9%88%d8%b6%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a3%d9%88%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%a8%d9%8a%d8%
