More of how crazy this is: the order fining us notes that Cloudflare had just under $8 million in Italy-based revenue in 2024. But the scheme allows “up to 2% of GLOBAL REVENUE” for damages. Using global revenue is further example of the extra-judicial overreach. #absurd

This is a big deal. The UK may end up being the regulator steps up to force Google to split AI Overviews from traditional Search. In doing so, they'll enable the creation of a level playing field in AI which will help ensure a functional market for content.
