The controversial statement of the Danish minister about chat control

by

Peter Hummelgaard is the Minister of Justice of Denmark and has become one of the greatest defenders of Chat Control. The measure, which is part of the regulation to fight child abuse on the network, would mean a Hard blow to the privacy of European citizens to the end the end -to -end encryptionbut for Humelgaard this should not be a right. Hard statements. While other European countries are discussed on whether the end (fighting child abuse) justifies the media (that everyone’s conversations cease to be private), Danish justice has a very hard position about it. In Danish television statementsHummelgaard said that: “We must break with the totally wrong perception that communicating through encrypted messaging services is a civil freedom of all.” Maximum priority. Last week we collected the news of the Chat Control Return. The measure, which has been rejected aboveis being promoted again by Denmark, which since July occupies the presidency of the EU Council. Denmark was always in favor of this measure, and now They are treating it with the highest priority. What is chat control. It is the name with which the CSAM regulation (Child sex abuse material) is known. What Denmark wants and countries in favor of this measure is that the authorities can force the messaging services to give access to the content to scan it in real time, including those who are encrypted from extreme to the end, such as WhatsApp or Signal. Although it is presented with a very specific purpose, in practice it would be open the door to mass surveillance. Positions. On September 12 there was a meeting in which the countries made their position in front of this measure, whose final vote will occur next October 14. The positions of the countries have moved these days and, according to the Fight Chat Control informationthere are currently 14 states in favor, 10 against and 3 undecided states. If the undecided choose to reject it, there would be a draw. A lot of at stake. And on both sides. Germany has been one of the countries that has recently opposed the measure and Point out the problem From the Danish proposal: “Private and confidential communications must remain private. At the same time, there is an obligation to combat child abuse on the Internet (…) Danish posture cannot be backed 100 %.” Luxembourg, Slovakia And Estonia also recently opposed. Spain wants chat control. In 2023, before Chat Control was first rejected, A filtration revealed that The Government of Spain was in favor of ending end -to -end encryption. In a debate on the subject and while other countries defended the possibility of scanning in search of sensitive material without ending the encrypted, Minister Grande Marlaska said that “it is essential that we have access to the data (encrypted).” Images | World Economic Forum and Pexels In Xataka | Nepal’s youth are experiencing a new type of democracy: deciding the country’s future in discord

The Chinese brand has begun to make its cars in the continent

by

The Chinese brand of electric vehicles has launched Your first local production line In Europe, marking an important step in the industry, as it is placed as one of the first Chinese manufacturers to produce local vehicles in the continent. The company has chosen Magna’s facilities in Graz, Austria, to start the assembly of its most successful models in the European market. A key movement. Xpeng’s decision of manufacture at the local level in Europe Respond directly to Tariffs imposed by the European Union to electric vehicles manufactured in China. The tariff tax can reach up to 35.3% for some manufacturers, a percentage that adds to the 10% base tariff. In the case of Xpeng, considered A “cooperating” entity In European research on subsidies, the additional rate is only 20.7%. Xpeng G6. Image: Xpeng The choice of the perfect partner. Magna Steyr It is not any manufacturer by contract. Its Graz facilities have produced vehicles for brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Toyota. The plant specializes in flexible production of low volumes to media, and is recognized for its ability to assemble multiple complex models in shared lines. Currently, it is where the Mercedes-Benz class G. and the BMW Z4. The numbers speak. Between January and July 2025, Xpeng registered sales abroad from 18,701 vehicleswhich represents an interannual increase of 217%. In Europe specifically, more than 8,000 units were recorded in the first half of the year. The G6 monopolizes 67% of the brand’s total sales in Europe, becoming the star model of the region. More than a factory. Xpeng’s European strategy goes beyond production. The company has recently opened Your first center European research and development in Munich, Germany. This installation is designed to support technical collaboration and the adaptation of products to local markets. Although, like Explain The president and CEO he Xiaopeng, the center also focuses on conceptual prototypes through “an ecosystem driven by the focused on intelligent electric vehicles, humanoid robotics and flying vehicles.” The time factor. Xpeng has advanced to his rival byd in the race for local European production. While serial production in Austria should be in full operation next month, ByD plans to start Your production in Hungary Towards the end of the year. And now what. The company Plan Expand local production to other models in the future, including the new Xpeng P7+, described as its “car with AI”. The firm already has a presence in more than 46 countries and regions worldwide since its entry into Norway in 2021, being an example of the hunger that the Chinese automotive industry has by conquer other regionsnot only by export, but also through local manufacturing to grow the brand towards international markets.

The first cable that connects it to the peninsula is already in the sea

by

Giulio Verne, a cable vessel from the company Prysmian, crossed the Strait on September 15 to dock in Ceuta. In his winery he brought more than copper and steel: the first underwater cable that connects to the autonomous city with the peninsular electrical system. With this, Ceuta leaves decades of energy isolation behind. And Spain, when looking in that mirror, is reflected the challenges that still Drag in your own networks. Weaving networks. According to the Red Eléctrica press release from Spainon August 26, the line began from the Line of La Concepción, in Cádiz. The cable toured 58 kilometers under the sea until reaching the Ceutí coast, with maneuvers almost 900 meters deep and special measures to protect the biodiversity of the Strait. The boat chosen for this operation, Giulio Verne, is one of the few of the world prepared for this type of missions: it can load up to 7,000 tons of cable and place it more than 1,600 meters underwater. Leaving behind the “energy island.” Until now, Ceuta’s electrical demand was covered with diesel and gas turbines. The result were high costs for the system, dependence on fossil fuels and polluting emissions in an especially sensitive enclave such as narrow. Thanks to the interconnection, Ceuta will stop depending completely on fossil fuels. As we point out in Xatakaup to 87% of the electrical demand can be covered with clean energy. That will be a respite for the environment – about 300,000 tons of co₂ will be avoided – and also for the system invoice, with a saving of about 30 million euros per year. From Ree summarize it with a clear image: This “umbilical cord” will give Ceuta a supply as stable and safe as that of the Peninsula, but also cheaper and sustainable. The challenge is even greater. Yes, Ceuta has ceased to be an “energy island”, but Spain continues to be in more than one sense. The Iberian Peninsula maintains an interconnection level With France of just 2.8%far from 15% marked by the European Union by 2030. In addition, they are still waiting for reach concrete plans To create electric interconnection runners, while they continue to suffer an electric “bottleneck. However, the problem is also internal. Within Spain, at noon there is cheap renewable spare in rural Spain, but at the afternoon, electricity is fallen in urban areas. According to the employer Aelēc83.4% of distribution knots are already saturated, which blocks the connection of new industrial or digital consumption and forces to waste up to 30% of clean energy at some points. Rather than directly relieve these knots – Ceuta’s link responds to another logic – the project demonstrates that Spain has the technical capacity to undertake large interconnections, just what you need to reinforce its internal network and stop losing clean energy along the way. More networks. In Ceuta, the road map is clear and will benefit the electrical system. The second submarine circuit will tend along autumn. On land, the new virgin substation of Africa (132 kV) should be ready in September, and in October the new Algeciras transformation park will be put into service, connected to the existing 220 kV substation. With the Soterrado terrestrial sections almost finished, the official forecast is that all the infrastructure is running before the end of this year. You have to get muscle. The Ceuta cable shows that Spain has technical muscle to undertake complex and sustainable projects, with underground, directed drilling and compact substations. But it also launches a warning: it is not enough to celebrate a new link. The energy transition requires more internal network, more distribution capacity in demand poles, more storage and more international interconnections. Other countries have already advanced. The United Kingdom and Denmark Viking Link premiered in 2023a 765 kilometers cable that crosses the North Sea to import or export electricity according to the wind. Spain, which beats cheap renewable generation records at noon, needs something similar not to run out at night. The Strait already has its “umbilical cord.” The question is whether Spain will know how to weave the network that connects it, really, with itself and with Europe.

A perfect storm is hitting wind energy in almost everyone. Less in China

by

Wind energy has gone from being the great hope of Europe to be in the shadow of photovoltaic solar. Deserted auctions, paralyzed projects waiting for permits and bottlenecks in network connections are an increasingly common reality for the sector both in the old continent and in the United States. But in the midst of this perfect storm, an exception called China is able to completely distort global statistics. Wind in the West. Europe installed 16.4 GW of wind capacity in 2024, a figure lower than the expected Windeurope It attributes endless administrative delays and increasingly complicated financial conditions, especially for inflation in the supply chain. Projects Judicially blockeddeserted auctions … Nothing that the United States is not experiencing on the other side of the Atlantic. A few weeks ago, the US government canceled an investment of 679 million dollars to adapt the ports to the offshore wind industry, an infrastructure without which the huge components of marine wind turbines cannot be assembled or transported. Before, the Trump administration had paralyzed the construction of almost finished wind farms For the alleged espionage from China. Meanwhile, in China. If wind energy facilities grew 13% in 2024 it was almost exclusively thanks to Chinese demand. Excluding China from the equation, The market contracted 16%. Only Chinese manufacturers continue to beat orders records, and there are no signs that this will change this year. According to a Bloomberg reportChina monopolizes approximately 75% of all new offshore wind energy facilities in 2025. The Asian country dominates the world production of components and enjoys greater investments thanks to the agility of permits and financial support of the Communist Party, which establishes very low interest rates for these companies. A two -speed transition. The result is an energy transition that advances at radically different rhythms. While Europe and the United States collide with economic reality and government changes, China meets its objectives and almost completely dominate the supply chain. We are living The fastest energy change in historybut not all countries can advance at the same speed. This imbalance is also one of the reasons why Solar energy has eaten the ground to wind in pioneer regions in the sector, such as Europe. The installation of panels (most manufactured in China) is cheaper and more simple, both at the logistics level and permits, than the wind turbine industry that once Europe led.

The rear screens to the Xiaomi 17 pro return

by

Xiaomi officially shows an advance of the next Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 pro max, A brief video in which quite promising details have been revealed. The devices, which as we explain They forget the number 16 To shorten distances with The new iPhone Also in last name, they promise a radical change in the design that the Chinese firm had become accustomed to us until now. The great novelty is the incorporation of a secondary screen in the back, integrated into a completely renewed chamber island and that occupies practically the entire width of the device. An ambitious generational leap. Xiaomi has decided to completely omit the numbering 16 to directly position its new range against Apple’s iPhone 17. The strategy seems that it is not directed only in the name, but that both the Xiaomi 17 Pro and the Pro Max adopt a rectangular design on its island of Chambers that, in addition to reminding the competition approach, also adds a key element that we usually see in some current folding phones. The “Magic Back Screen” as the protagonist. As we can see in The promotional videothe secondary rear screen is completely integrated around the two main chambers of the system. Among some of the things we can do with this screen, everything seems to indicate that this new screen will allow you to show different clock spheres, function as a camera viewer for selfies with the main cameras and even show application information. In fact, it is not the first time that Xiaomi experiences with rear screens: the Mi 11 ultra From 2021 it already included a 1.1 -inch AMOLED panel, and everything indicates that Xiaomi wants to collect this element again to try to highlight among the hard competition. First level technical specifications. In addition to the striking of the screen, it should be remembered that the new devices will release the processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 of Qualcomm and maintain collaboration with Leica for the Triple Rear Chamber. In the absence of having it in hand and testing it in depth, the leaks point to great capacity batteries: 7,000 mAh for the standard model and up to 7,500 mAh for the Pro Max, figures that would mean a significant increase with respect to the previous generation. When you want to be different in a saturated market. The incorporation of this functional secondary screen is Xiaomi seeking how they can highlight in A highly saturated marketwith very good devices by many manufacturers that also try to wear a piece of the huge cake. It is clear that it is difficult to innovate in the field of smartphones, especially considering that the vast majority of proposals are similar in the aesthetic for pursuing the user’s convenience. Xiaomi wants in this sense to look for a striking proposal and add value to its devices, as is the case of this secondary screen. In the theory it can be very useful, but it is possible to see if the mass public sees it as a key feature in the phones. Next launch. The three models of the 17 series (including the base model that seems to arrive without rear screen) will officially be presented in China throughout this month. The Xiaomi 17 ultra on the other hand, which has traditionally become the flagship of the range, would not occur in September according to the latest leaks, so everything indicates that users will have to wait to see this model in stores.

Spanish wine promised them very happy after the end of drought. The price of grapes is changing everything

by

The wine industry is facing a complicated year. In the eye of the hurricane, the price of grapes, such a low price that is leading farmers to stand up war. A problem that It has been hanging on the sector From before even the beginning of the harvest. The food chain law. The Unió Llauradora, Agrarian Organization of Valencian, has been the last sector group in denounce the situation of the grape market. The organization has claimed to claim Ministry of Agriculture Valenciana A study on the production costs for the grapes used for wine production, a study they consider could “endorse possible complaints for breach of the food chain law.” This legislation is responsible for regulating “the operation and vertebration of the food chain.” A law that seeks, According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foodimprove the efficacy and competitiveness of the sector while reducing the imbalance in commercial relations. According to explained in a statement The Llauradora Unió, this legislation “the only instrument that producers possess to defend their interests (…) in the face of commercial distribution abuses.” 20% less. Farmers do not consider that the price at which wine producers buy the grape is fair. According to the forecasts of the Valencian Sector Association, the price of grapes could fall by more than 20% this year. Expectations v. reality. The Valencian field is the last to join the complaints of other vinification grape -producing regions. The harvest seemed to be abundant, with some areas relying on a recovery in production also 20%. This increase in supply would be the great engine of the price drop, a decrease such that for some wine producing regions they have indicated in recent months that they would not allow them to cover production costs. To this problem, the Unió Llauradora adds another in the fact that its harvest is not even reaching the expected volume at first. Despite this, prices, based on more optimistic expectations, They continue to be low. “The rains recorded at certain times of the campaign were a relief and contributed to the recovery of the vine The association stands out. One crisis after another. The current one is just one of the crises that the sector has had to face in recent years. The increase that some wine regions have seen in production responds rather to a recovery compared to recent years, marked by the drought that put a good part of the agricultural sector against the strings (even the farmer).

Telefónica will have its “day D” in November. The Teleco plays its future with Murtra behind the wheel

by

Almost nine months Murtra as president of Telefónica. What lasts a pregnancy, which lasts a course. On November 4 will be born its strategic plan and Marc will have its final exam. That day will present the master lines that will define the direction of the centenary telecus for the coming years. The date is not accidental, it coincides with the results of the third quarter. Perfect occasion to combine the figures of the present with the promises of the future. And after that staging there is a company that is played much more than its next investment cycle. The scenario of the arrival to power of Murtra is, above all, a paradox: He inherited a financially sanitized telephone: Pallete reduced debt in half. But also a telephone punished by the market: the action lost 57% of its value in the previous era. The balance says the company is better. The stock market says that investors do not believe it. The market seeks growth stories, not survival. This contradiction defines the challenge of the Catalan engineer: it is not enough to be right in the accounts, we must convince those who move the silver. Speaking of silverMurtra’s great movement in his first months is the execution of The fastest exit of Latin America In the history of Telefónica. Argentina, sold. Peru, liquidated –not to say-. Colombia, more of the same. Mexico, with the “sell” poster. And at the same time, he has placed Europe at the center of his board with An aggressive discourse on consolidation. He talks about creating a “European champion” while he has in the spotlight, says the Rumore Rumoreto Vodafone Spain. With 1 & 1 in Germany in the bedroom. Is The commitment of who understands that there is no middle ground: o Telefónica grows based on acquisitions, or becomes a prey to more ambitious ones. And it has lost more than 80% of its value from its historical maximums, so it is no longer so inaccessible by price. On November 4 he will say if this strategy has a financial muscle behind or stays in speech. Local operators They have already raised the voice Against its concentration plan, Brussels has begun to leave behind its historical misgivings on mergers although the verdict remains an unknown, and the market expects to see concrete figures on where the billions that will cost these operations will come out. Murtra faces The question that defines all the great executives: Is it a visionary or a volunteer? In two months we will know.

A study rises to 90% the probability that we see a black hole exploit. Physicists have become nervous

by

At some point in the next 10 years we are probably witnessing the explosion of a black hole, according to a new model published in Physical Review Letters. In the light of the telescopes, this very powerful event has the potential to confirm the most famous theory of Stephen Hawking and give us a catalog of unknown particles of the universe. Short. A team of theoretical physicists of the University of Massachusetts Amherst It has recalculated the probability of seeing live the violent explosion of a black hole under the assumption that there are primary black holes in hibernation. Its conclusion is that the most potentially transformative event of modern cosmology could be just around the corner: they calculate more than 90% possibilities that we witness the explosion of a primary black hole during the next decade, under the assumptions posed by the model. The Fat Prize for Physics. Seeing a black hole would be transformer in at least three fronts. It would be the first direct observation of the Hawking radiationthe famous theory of 1970 with which Stephen Hawking postulated that black holes losing mass slowly emitting particles, so they are not completely black. In addition, it is believed that A black hole in evaporation emits all fundamental particles whose mass is lower than its temperature. Therefore, the explosion of a black hole should reveal from the electrons and quarks that we know, to hypothetical particles of dark matter and others completely unknown to science. Finally, the event would confirm the primary black holes. Unlike the black holes that are formed by the collapse of mass stars, it is believed that the primordials were formed in the extreme conditions of the universe less than a second after the Big Bang. “I would completely revolutionize physics and help us rewrite the history of the universe,” says Joaquim Iguaz Juan, co -author of the study. How a black hole explodes. The idea that black holes can explode directly derives from Hawking radiation. The theory says that the lighter a black hole, the higher its temperature and faster emits particles. This creates an uncontrolled process: as it radiates, loses mass and heats up even more. Consequently, it radiates at an increasing rate until, in its final moments, it fades into an explosion of high energy radiation (mainly gamma rays). The problem is that, until now, physicists believed that the chances of seeing such an event were infinitesimal. These calculations, based on black holes without electric charge (black schwarzschild holes), suggested that explosions occur, at most, once every 100,000 years. With those chances, we would have to be very lucky to see one. Where that 90% probability comes from. The researchers decided to question the departure assumption: what if the primary black holes are not electrically neutral? The new hypothesis proposes the existence of a force similar to electromagnetism, But in the dark sector: With a “dark photon” and a very heavy “dark electron”. If a primary black hole was formed with a small dark electric charge, its destination would change completely. This mechanism works as a brake. As the black hole loses mass due to hawking radiation, its load/mass ratio increases, causing its temperature to drastically, which submits it to a state of hibernation for billions of years. After that time, the dark electric field near the horizon becomes so intense that he discharges the black hole, causing the final explosion that we have been waiting for. Why does this increase the chances of observation? Because this long stability period allows much lighter black holes (and, therefore, much more numerous) survive to this day. A greater number of nearby candidates drastically increases the local explosions rate, passing from one every 100,000 years to one every 10 years. We have the technology to see it. The best part is that we do not need to build new technology. Gamma ray observatories as Hawc in Mexico And Lhaaso in China are already scanning the sky and are perfectly able to detect the outbreak of a nearby primary black hole, at a distance of up to 0.3 light years. “We already have the technology to observe these explosions, so we should be prepared,” says Michael Baker, lead author of the study. If it happened, it would be a historical moment. We would be seeing, for the first time, the final echo of the creation of the universe, a first look at the most fundamental secrets of the cosmos in a single and spectacular outbreak of light.

Jpelirrojo and Soyunapringada star again on the Internet of the week

by

When it seemed that his time of controversial stardom had passed, here we have it again: Jpelirrojo, One of the first youtubers In getting some notoriety with a nascent YouTube around the mid -two thousands, he is again In the eye of the hurricane. And has not disappointed. The one who was the black Beast of the Internet in Spanish returns, thanks to a few unfortunate statements and the resurrection of his BEEF with Esty Quesadato be the most hated internet (this week). Jpelirrojo Prime. He Jpelirrojo who obtained fame on the Internet for a few years ago is no longer that of now: he promoted his steps in the rap and the interpretationits main channel came to exceed one million subscribers, won the Google YouTube Nextup contest in 2011, opened channels dedicated to sport, challenges or even their personal life, since it was one of the first Influencers in visible your relationship with youtuber Roenlaredanticipating the gossip internet we have now. And, of course, he has never been alien to the controversies: he celebrated in 2016 the death of a bullfighter on Twitter (which It cost an advertising contract with Nestlé), did controversial statements and of misogynist dyes about feminism, makeup or Friendzonewas criticized for his opinions about politics and relationships, and also when he entered the market of the coaches with A course of doubtful quality about obtaining happiness. Enter Soyunapringada. The confrontation between Jpelirrojo and Esty Quesada is one of the most popular controversies in the world of Spanish youtubers and influencers. Quesada He criticized Jpelirrojo years agoaccusing him of being a “shit macho” and a “cancer for feminism”, especially because of the way he treated Roenlared. Quesada defined the relationship between the two of psychological abuse and this hatred reached its culmination in A few viodeos where youtuber He let all his bile out Against his enemy, in historical pieces of verbal poison in Spanish. But if this was years ago … Why have the flames of the conflict been revived? More controversial. Although this year Jpelirrojo has not been oblivious to controversies (in June he published a video Raising weights in the hospital room where his partner had just given birth, with the text “Without excuses”), none has been as much as Your participation in expected podcastwhere he confessed to having been unfaithful to Roenlaredwith whom he had a relationship of more than 12 years. He explained how this situation conditioned the rest of the years together, ensuring that he lived “canceled” and always “in debt” for that error. His statements have been specially criticized for presenting themselves as a victim despite having committed the initial infidelity, which generated Debates on responsibility and toxic relationships. The interview was also sown with Conflictive political opinionslike “the only nazi than the Nazi is the extreme left Woke Today in social networks. “or his revelation on the habit of recording all his conversations” by paranoia “. Esty, to the jugular. After five years without publishing on him, I am anapringing has unearthed the war ax and has taken advantage of the media intervention of Jpelirrojo for launch a new attack. Tacha to your recent statements of “circus” and ridicule your complaints. In fact, she was the main defender of the theory that excuses is victimized and uses to justify her behavior and past errors. Quesada has continued to remove the controversy and the incin that already has a jpelirrojo in social networks, to end up making it one of the most hated people of the moment. Jpelirrojo, in the center of the hurricane. It is no longer about having a controversial behavior or seeking with your statements to generate the hatred of your opponents: Jpelirrojo has ended up converting the CRINGE In full -time work. Establishing the grimo as one of the Fine Arts seems to be the purpose of someone who seems aware that he will not achieve notoriety for conventional channels, and force the opposition with videos that knows that they will be badly received, such as that of the hospital, or with necessarily confrontational statements, such as those of the podcast. Let’s not forget that Jpelirrojo comes from an internet era in which to release the most daring provocation was rewarded with visits, although there were punishments in the form of Canceled Contracts. But sensibilities have changed and that is why these types of profiles always have the complaint about the “cancellation culture“. However, the wheel continues to turn: while there is a jpelirrojo there will always be a sty cheese to stir about its sins, in a spiral of hatred and affronts that is the one that signs the most bronch and rough side of the Internet.

The links lived their peak with the Google search engine. Now that same search engine is killing them

by

Google’s results page was an ode to web links. It was the ultimate expression of That basic information unit That was the Internet cement. Now that cement is getting rid before our eyes, and the fault is an AI that is transforming everythingincluding the famous search engine. That is bringing many consequences. The funny thing is that Google has been with contradictory speeches that on the one hand they seem to make it clear that everything is going well and that on the other they point to a potential problem. Where I said, I say Diego Liz Reid, the head of the Google search engine, He published an article In early August in Google’s official blog. According to her, the click volume generated from the search engine had remained “relatively stable” Regarding the same period last year. In May Nick Fox, another Google manager, explained In the podcast ai inside that “from our point of view, the web is thriving.” The same then claimed Pichai, CEO of Google, which In an interview In Decoder he indicated that the search engine “is definitely sending traffic to a wide variety of sources and editorial groups.” John Mueller, another of the company’s managers, He stood out that the clicks that generated the summaries of the “AI Overviews” of Google were “of higher quality” despite the fact that the studies confirmed that the average traffic on websites had fallen about 35%. However Some documents Recently obtained thanks to the US antitrust trial against Google they have revealed another reality. In them the company admitted that “The open web is rapid decline” That first statement against Google’s traditional speech that “everything is going well” with the web was seen these days accompanied by another equally worrying. The Penske Media editorial group – magazine editor like Rolling Stone or Variety— has sued to Google precisely for using AI summaries on the results page. These summaries collect information from various media and then present it to users directly as the answer to their question. And in doing so, they allege in demand, users They do not see the need to go to the original source. The creator of the content, therefore, runs out of traffic and unable to monetize it, especially through advertising. In The Wall Street Journal They quoted The words of José Castañeda, spokesman for Google, who responded to the demand stating that «with AI Overviews, users find the most useful search and use it more, which creates new opportunities to discover content. Every day, Google sends billions of clicks to websites from the entire network, and ai overViews send traffic to a greater diversity of sites. We will defend ourselves against these unfounded accusations. “ However, Markham Erickson, one of Google’s managers in legal material, explained that what is happening is that people are changing their way of looking for information: “The 10 blue bonds serve the ecosystem very well, and it was a simple value proposal (…). We are not going to leave that model. We believe that model has its usefulness. It remains an important part of the ecosystem. But user preferences and what they want are also changing. So, instead of answers based on facts and 10 blue links, They want more and more contextual responses and summaries. We want to be able to offer that too, while leading people to valuable content on the Internet. ” Online media, in danger A study by Press Gazette has revealed the evolution of web traffic that the 50 main media between August 2024 and August 2025 have had. Of all those media, Only five managed to grow in traffic From one year to another. The rest has fallen, and in some cases extraordinary: Source: Sherwood News graph with ados by Press Gazette. In that worrying classification you can see how even media such as The New York Times have lost 7%of its traffic, but the thing is much worse for CNN (38%less), The Washington Post (40%), use today (34%) or Forbes (50%). The falls, coming from a statistical analysis of Similar Web, are terrible and show a clear reality: that the traffic that Google previously came thanks to the links is being lost. And it is being lost because of the simple reason that the Google search engine is displacing the links to the background. The traditional results page is no longer full of links, and instead The first thing that one usually see is a summary generated by AI in which Google collects information and then condensate it and give it chew to the user. Of the search engine that gives you links to which he talks with you Things seem clear to Google, which first offered the AI ​​overViews generated with AI and that is gradually expanding the deployment of Ai mode, his “search engine in conversational mode” which is basically a perplexity or a chatgpt Search. Logan Kilpatrick, head of Google Ai Studio and Gemini’s API, indicated how the new AI Mode already has a new URL (Google.com/ai), although said conversational search engine does not work at the moment in all regions. In Spain it is not available, for example, but the simple use of a VPN allows you to use it without problems. A verified x user called Burkov replied saying that this mode of ia should be the default search engine, to which Kilpatrick replied With a simple “soon :)”. Two days later, yes, clarified That answer pointing out that “I was not saying that AI Mode will replace the main search engine.” Another Google manager too He wanted to clarify that Kilpatrick’s response wanted to say that they would soon be available to those who wanted to use it. As they explained In Search Engine Landthat AI Mode becomes the Google default search engine implies great changes in the way the contents were located. Before SEO allowed trying to position these contents, but now we will be at the expense of an AI system that will … Read more
