Google Search: reliance on one gateway to information

Search share with the source named, AI answer features and how they change clicks to publishers, court findings, and Google's responses.

Where the evidence comes from. DOJ v. Google findings of fact, StatCounter or comparable share data, Publisher traffic studies, Google blog. This topic is labeled Research by default; each story carries its own label.
Design lever. Information reliance. Claims about how a design affects people appear only with a study or a regulator finding behind them.
