Η Αυστραλία προχωρά με το σχέδιο που υποχρεώνει το Facebook και την Google να πληρώνουν για τις ειδήσεις

Australia will introduce new legislation this week that will effectively require Facebook Inc., and Alphabet Inc’s Google pay for news, though officials say the proposal includes some adjustments to the tech giants after they publicly campaigned opposing the plan.Australia’s effort is being closely monitored around the globe as other countries battle with how to compel tech corporations to compensate local publishers. Google and Facebook collect ad revenue based on visits to their sites and can maximize their traffic by adding links to new articles.A Google spokesperson stated that the company hadn’t witnessed the latest version of the legislation and didn’t add further comment. Facebook said it would review the legislation once it is introduced in parliament.
