What I find funny about this reaction is that most Australians are actually either quite blase about this situation, or actually are quietly enjoying the fact that massive multinationals who will do anything to avoid paying taxes in Australia have finally discovered that their power is quite limited in Australia.
Most Australians have seen what Facebook was up to during the 2016 election. They have seen the rise of Trumpism and, despite the incredibly conservative government, don't want that sort of crazy in their nation.
- brokenmachine 6y agoI'm Australian and I see this law as confirmation of dementia in the government. This is all kinds of unrealistic. Having to notify Murdoch of any changes to search algorithm 28 days in advance? I wonder if that is even possible - it's probably a magic ML algorithm that they tweak here and there. I can't imagine that google/facebook would continue linking to news under these conditions. The small return is not worth the cost.
