Sounds bad. The government could tax Google and Facebook and decide to subsidize the media. Subsidizing the media would look weird probably but it would be more honest. Or am I wrong?
- buboard 6y agoneither solution is attacking the root of the issue: the monopolization of the ad market which has made news reporting/blogging unsustainable. If the aussies want to have a body of independent sustainable journalism, government subsidies are dangerous. This ruling makes more sense, it's like attaching a VAT on google's pipeline.
