Google has threatened to remove its search engine from Australia over the nation's attempt to make the tech giant share royalties with news publishers. Australia is introducing a world-first law to make Google, Facebook and potentially other tech companies pay media outlets for their news content. But the US firms have fought back, warning the law would make them withdraw some of their services. Australian PM Scott Morrison said lawmakers would not yield to "threats". Australia is far from Google's largest market, but the proposed news code is seen as a possible global test case for how governments could seek to regulate big tech firms. Tech firms have faced increasing pressure to pay for news content in other countries, including France, where Google struck a landmark deal with media outlets on Thursday. In Australia, the proposed news code would tie Google and Facebook to mediated negotiations with publishers over the value of news content, if no agreement could be reached first.

This is going to be the make or break year for big tech.
Never underestimate how stubborn an Australian in a self-righteous sook can get. |

big tech is totally fucked and they don't see it coming.
Commies are evil, not stupid, they saw the power that big tech had over President Trump. They won't allow that to happen to them. They'll be busted up and jailed and all kinds of shit within the year. |

Can anyone explain the point of a reverse finders fee?
I found you a buyer, why should I pay you? You should be paying me. |

Good!! Australia should stand firm. In fact that should happen here too. This is exactly how competition is born.

[#13]
Use Bing and other search engines instead. They would survive just fine without google.

In the end, Donald Trump will have the last laugh. Trump shed the light on them. Big Tech should have let Trump win.

Good for them!! Google is evil. Use a different search engine.

Australia should stand firm. In fact that should happen here too. This is exactly how competition is born Do you want to bail out CNN? Australia's news industry is struggling. Of every A$100 (56; $77) spent on digital advertising, A$81 goes to Google and Facebook. And Covid-19 has only made this worse. With companies reducing their digital advertising spend, a number of outlets in Australia have been forced to close. Google, by contrast, has been performing well. Last year the social media giant made almost $4bn from Australia, while paying $45m in tax. Meanwhile, Australia's competition watchdog has accused both Facebook and Google of misleading Australian consumers about how their data is used, launching inquiries into digital advertising and the app stores market. "The college educated white man with a STEM degree and marketable skills have been doing very well financially during COIVD. Minorities with no education or marketable skills to speak of have been suffering. We must take Whitey's money." That's what's going on here. It not about Google. |

Australia, just ban them (Google, Facebook, Twitter, ect..)!!!

Ausies warm my heart. If not for their stance on guns I’d seriously consider a move.

At this point I consider them a monopoly. Because they control the majority of available information and decide who can see/say what, they can sway public opinion.

They just think they are part of the club. |

Australia is also in a trade was with China. You remember China, the communist country google was secretly building a censored search engine for? It’s interesting who big tech sees as their enemies and who they are trying to ingratiate themselves to |
