Google's threat to stop linking to New Zealand news sites highlights the ongoing tensions between digital platforms and news publishers over fair compensation for news content.
Communications Minister Paul Goldsmith mentioned that the bill, if passed, could generate as much as $30 million from Google, reflecting the significant value of news content.
The Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill emphasizes the imbalance in the digital ecosystem, where platforms like Google benefit from news content without adequately compensating creators.
The bill notes that online platforms often siphon advertising revenue away from news outlets and do not effectively share their monetization with news creators.
