NEWS MEDIA CODE: GOVT MAY YIELD TO WISHES OF GOOGLE, FACEBOOK

摘要

The Nine Entertainment newspapers reported on Monday that the government was looking at making this concession, with the outcome being that the two services that were to be designated for inclusion by name — Google Search and Facebook NewsFeed — would not be specified in the law.The law, in its current form, does not include Instagram and YouTube. The Nine report said Seven News, one of the three commercial free-to-air TV channels in Australia, was expected to announced a deal with Google soon.Google launched something called News Showcase in October, and introduced it in Australia on 5 February, a day after Prime Minister Scott Morrison had a video chat with Alphabet and Google chief Sundar Pichai.
