"Australia was the first country to use competition law to get Google and Meta to pay news publishers for the news they distribute and profit from."
"Globally, the code has had an enormous impact. Countries that have discussed putting in their own versions have seen Google strike deals with local publishers to forestall legislation."
"If there were equal bargaining power and Google had to pay for the intellectual property produced by others, the payout amounts would be much higher. But something is better than nothing."
"Meta has been adamant about resisting paying for the news that passes over its platforms, threatening to drop all news from countries that adopt the legislation."
