Sure, it's a stupid law, but that's a separate issue to the idea that Google's response is also self-defeating. We're already laughing at the idea of Google search no longer being available, like do they think we haven't heard of DDG and Startpage?
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoStartpage is just using Google data, so presumably if it's able to still operate in Australia when Google does not, it'll be missing a lot of relevant recent data for the Australian market.
- Ajedi32 6y agoI think the point is it doesn't matter whether it's self-defeating or not. If the law passes it becomes infeasible for Google search to continue to operate in Australia legally, so they have to shut it off; simple as that. Google isn't making threats, just stating facts.
