This…feels like unabashed conspiracy thinking. I can’t find any evidence that Google has done anything other than lobby publicly for this to not take effect, and they’ve also told YT creators/etc to do the same. I’m willing to be wrong if you can provide some links or something.
The impact of this is massive and having a massive platform makes them a much bigger target and at risk for much larger fines. It’s a huge problem for them, not an opportunity.
