 The "Defend Your Web" campaign started Tuesday seeks to mobilize Google users against plans to introduce a "Google Tax." The levy, being pushed by publishers, would require search engines to pay each time they link to media content like newspaper articles or photographs.
In a short online video, Google warns "for more than 10 years you've been able to find what you are looking for
-- a planned law would change that." It also provides written information and urges people to sign an online petition.
Google also plans newspaper and magazine ads.
