- chrismcb 6y agoHow can this be justified? It sounds like the Australian government is forcing Google to list the links and then charge then for it.
- anothernewdude 6y agoOf course they can remove them from the search results - don't be insane. You do not have to index a website just because they want to get paid. You cannot force a business into a contract nor into a business relationship.

- ipsum2 6y agoAccording to Australia bill they want to sign into law, Google will be forced to include the links. Which makes sense why Google wants to withdraw from the country.
