Publishers Looks Set to Benefit From U.K. Regulator's Google Action -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-04 19:45

1141 GMT - U.K. antitrust regulator's conduct requirement imposed on Google appears to be a positive step for all publishers and particularly owners of proprietary content, Panmure Liberum's Johnathan Barrett writes in a note. The Competition and Markets Authority said publishers should be allowed to opt out of feeding their content to power artificial-intelligence features in Google's online searches. The analyst says the conduct requirement recognises the asymmetry between Google and publishers and the need for transparency. "More importantly [the conduct requirement] provides a dynamic arrangement that can adjust to the AI market/Google's evolution and its behaviour," he adds. RELX and Informa shares are up 3.3% and 1.3%, respectively. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
