I’m just curious if anyone knows... does this specifically call out Google or does this also potentially have implications for other news aggregators that work in a similar way? Could this also target reddit or even hacker news?
I couldn’t find where they define the platform that is Google.
- dlubarov 6y agoThe draft doesn't name Google or Facebook, but 52C gives the Treasurer the ability to deem specific corporations and services "designated digital platform corporations/services", and they have announced that Google and Facebook will be the initial targets. E.g. in the explanatory materials, > In the first instance, the Government has announced that the mandatory code of conduct will apply to Facebook and Google. However, the Treasurer may also make subsequent instruments in the future designating other platforms where fundamental bargaining power imbalances with Australian news businesses emerge.
