I would like to see some evidence before I buy this conspiracy theory. If anything, I feel like legacy media is too lazy and entrenched to even consider this

- nomilk 2y agoLegacy media are indeed lazy and stupid, but all that's stopping them is the Australian parliament, who are lazier and stupider.
- teitoklien 2y agoSo lazy that they successfully lobbied governments to ruin their relation with big tech companies like facebook, google etc To give newspapers 100s of millions of free money just for the “privilege” of linking to their article, a “link tax”. They are lazy about reporting news without a bias, but they are perfectly active when it comes to lobbying.
- pmarreck 2y agoI would be happy to see any links to evidence of this
- yosame 2y agoProof: https://www.accc.gov.au/by-industry/digital-platforms-and-services/news-media-bargaining-code/news-media-bargaining-code https://www.accc.gov.au/by-industry/digital-platforms-and-se... It's called the news media bargaining code. Technically speaking, the law isn't enforced since Google/Meta chose to voluntarily pay the link tax, rather than be put on the list that would force them to pay. But, at the end of the day it's the same effect.
- brokenmachine 2y agoDon't forget the best part, they will also get fined for not linking!! Brilliant!! The incorruptible free market of Australia in all its glory.
