AFAICT the law is targeted at Google and Facebook only, Microsoft would not have to pay.

- austhrow743 6y agoOf course it is. Whole law is just cronyism for Rupert Murdoch. He owns the Australian government. Got them to fuck up our internet upgrade because it threatened his cable tv business. Now he's getting them to steal from Facebook and Google to subsidise his many newspapers. If that doesn't work hell probably just get them to subsidise them directly.
