What's dumb about the law now? Did America not break up Standard Oil when it got too large and it's reach too powerful?
Aussie here. I don't side with Google and I certainly don't like our government. But at least we elected this government. Google is using its position of dominance as a threat and will deplatform their search to us.
To me that sounds more strange than the government wanting a bit of profit sharing from Google to other media outlets.

Regardless, my point isn't that the law seem poorly written ; it's that Australia is well within it's rights to regulate it's own internal market regardless of what people on the other side of the Globe think about it.
