UK Regulator Orders Google to Let Publishers Opt Out of AI Overviews

The UK's CMA has ordered Google to let publishers block their content from being used in AI Overviews powered by Gemini. Publishers can now opt out of appearing in AI Overview results, which summarize content from websites using Google's Gemini AI model. Google must also ensure publisher content is clearly flagged and attributed in overview results with direct links. This change gives publishers control over how their content is used in AI summaries and affects global search practices.
