💨 Abstract

Independent Turkish media outlets are at risk of closure due to a significant drop in reader traffic from Google's algorithm changes. Google's updates since January have largely eliminated traffic to these websites, primarily directed through its "Discover" and "News" tools, causing financial harm. The outlets, including T24, Medyascope, Diken, and Birgun, claim the changes also restrict public access to news and plan to take legal action.
