EU will offer search engine charge-back to publishers

Will take many years to bring in, however

The EU is expected to unveil new technology rules today aimed at reining in many of the world's largest tech firms. Under the proposals, which commentator says will take years to complete, European publishers may be given powers to charge internet companies whenever their content shows up in online results or other services.

Chat apps will also be more heavily policed by extending rules which currently only cover telecoms providers.
