Google Search rests on a social contract: their bots can crawl our sites, they can index our sites, and they can show excerpts of our sites because

Hoogleraar rechtstheorie Elaine Mak, medeopsteller van het NOvA-rapport, weerspreekt dat het slechts om meningen gaat. Zij benadrukt dat de toetsing is gebaseerd op verdragen, wetgeving en fundamentele beginselen van de rechtsstaat.
