At a Senate hearing in Canberra on Friday, Google Australia Managing Director Mel Silva said the draft legislation"remains unworkable," and would be"breaking" the way millions of users searched for content online. "If this version of the Code were to become law, it would give us no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia," she told lawmakers.
Last August, Google used its homepage to warn Australians that the bill would harm their ability to search and lead to"consequences" for YouTube users.Google's clash with Australian regulators is heating upThe US giant is now proposing three changes to the code, including how it would compensate news publishers.
Every country should stand up
So to recap... Google threatens a sovereign government with retaliation if they don't align their laws to the benefit of their business model. We need to break up these mega corporations. Maybe JoeBiden can be our generation's Teddy Roosevelt and go TrustBusting.
The let the US do it too.
Good stick it to them aus and fuck you cnn
Tbh some News corporations like the ABC which is the national broadcasting corporation funded by the Australian government had 80 million dollars of funding taken out by the liberal party who doesn’t like how the ABC expose them. No wonder they need more funding...
As an alternative, they could stop indexing the news sites. Instead they try petulant bullying. If Google doesn't like the law of the land, they can go elsewhere. There are other search engines.
The ultimate objective of capitalism is monopoly.This is what these tech giants have become into. Antitrust could be the solution but how much time more?And for how long?How can u propagate democracy yet wory about monopolistic ideas of capitalism?Why don't we learn from history?
like all businesses they have to adapt their business models. What will happen is costs will be passed through & consumers & creators will go elsewhere. Gone are they days of the gatekeepers who held all the wealth. Via con Dios old ways of doing the News
Power move!
The making of law by capital is called capitalism. You're in it
Australian here. Our Government is actually terrible and actively corrupt at the moment, and I may not be speaking for everyone, but we don't want this, we never wanted this, and we will never want this.
faully33 Don't slam the door on the way out.
This is Rupert Murdoch’s fault and he is an Australian tosser
This will be disastrous for Australia. Google should just delist the news companies complaining. Google probably sends 90% of their customers.
Who cares👉just more threats and control👉go to Oracle
Fret not Australians, other great search engines are available. I have functioned just fine without Google as my search engine for about 7 years now. Top pick now is Ecosia
Google aint the one n only, duckduckgo search engine and you can use that on one of the Best browsers Firefox one a better comp like Ubuntu one of the many Flavors of Linux. -mic drop-
FYI American in the replies. A huge chunk of our news media is own by Murdoch so you know Aussies are screwed if this bill becomes law.
Do it, do it, do it :D
letgooglego
Good! Give a different company a chance to shine ..BB commies
Plenty of other search engines Australians can use. Perhaps the Google monopoly should be classified as a threat to Australian national security and the whole group broken up.
Meh...

Google is an immoral tech giant. Its pervert chief sundarpichai has colluded with the thug tea vendor narendramodi to plunder domicile networking resources specially in the name of free wi-fi provision on RailMinIndia throuh RailTel. I urge Hon SCI to follow suit at once.

This proposed unworkable legislation is designed to particularly benefit the dominant Murdoch media organisation by a Govt which is in its back pocket & relies on editorial support to retain power. auspol

Bring back Altavista, dogpile, 2 Cows
I am fully behind the Australians! It's time the tech giants learn that they are no government of their own!
What a load of bollocks. They just signed a deal similar to what Australia is asking for with French media companies. I won't make you Google it...
M7 murderer FREE OUR president elect KYAGULANYI ROBERT SSENTAMU and even we need our victory
