MODERATORS
Sure, but instead of opting out, Google pays the site for using their data in a snippet
They've been through this in Germany over a decade ago. German press got their dumb law passed. Google wouldn't pay for scraped content and unlisted the German press instead, with exception of Springer who were the loudest demanding the law and the fastest to agree to give Google a free license. In the end most of the German press gave Google exclusively a free license to use their content to show their articles on Google News so Google has even more of a monopoly.
