Seems to me the DMA should have something to say about Google displaying any info beyond a list of pages in its search results. All it should take is someone bringing the case to court.

Google is a strangler fig, in the long term its only goal is to kill the World Wide Web. First they help you find good content, so people visit and use and enjoy and participate in good web sites. Then they insist on scraping every piece of value they can, and presenting it to the user such that they never have to visit the websites at all. Then the websites die, having been choked to death by the strangler fig, and people blame the websites for dying, not the strangler who bled them dry.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
