Google has a bit of a problem here.
The majority of Australians are pretty indifferent/apathetic here. Murdoch vs Google is Goliath vs Goliath, nobody cares who wins, everyone hopes they both get wrecked in the process.
The best outcome here is if Google stops linking to news organisations in Australia.
Zero fucks would be given and independent journalism would be able to grow in a healthy environment.
- RL_Quine 6y agoDo they though? I want to see the Australian government crying to Google to return when they realize what they've brought upon themselves.
- waheoo 6y agoYou live in a bubble. Most people find Bing and duck duck go adequate. I don't, but I'm a special snowflake. You also seem to think this government gives a fuck. It's constantly getting caught out and exposed as corrupt (for real, not hyperbole), but nobody cares,Murdoch prints it under the rug and people move on. You think Australians will care about Google a month after being forced into Bing?
- alexhaber 6y agoAnecdotally a lot of people I know, especially older people, don't know how to properly use the internet without google. Google is the default search engine on chrome, the most popular browser, and most of these people don't know how to change the default.
