I wonder how the quoted "royalty-style system" would work. If it's anything like reverse ads where Google and Facebook pay per click/impression, what's to stop them from simply boycotting Australian news sites?
- 1f60c 6y agoI think this is going to happen/has happened in Europe. It hurts publishers most of all, IMHO.
- postingawayonhn 6y agoApparently they'll have to boycott all news sites. I hope they are able to challenge this law in the courts. > "They can't discriminate between international and Australian news. So they can't turn off Australian news and just use international news. That's discrimination. This is a mandatory code, the platforms must participate. They could stop showing news media on their platforms completely – that is, no local or international media – but short of that, they are compelled." https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/facebook-and-google-face-10m-for-media-code-breaches-20200731-p55h6p https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/facebook-a...
