In a statement, the search giant said the new law makes the Google News service unsustainable and that it will remove Spanish publishers from Google News sites worldwide and shut down this service in Spain on December 16.

The move also means readers in Latin America and around the globe will no longer find links to articles from any Spanish news publishers on Google News.
