Those in glass houses. Yes indeed. I know my place.

so someone jumps on google looking for news, google directs them to a news site, and then google pays the news site for the privilige?
thats the opposite of how i thought the interwebs worked. But then i thought bookface was a free for all with regards to bouncing people for price gouging MTB stuff

In marketing terms - if you are not paying for the product - then you are the productso someone jumps on google looking for news, google directs them to a news site, and then google pays the news site for the privilige?

Google threatens to withdraw search engine from Australia
"Google has threatened to remove its search engine from Australia over the nation's attempt to make the tech giant share royalties with news publishers.
Australia is introducing a world-first law to make Google, Facebook and potentially other tech companies pay media outlets for their news content."

why doesn't google just invest in the fossil fuel industry here? they'll enjoy tax benefits that will well outweigh the costs involved in paying news outlets...

He'll, if they invest in the fossil fuel industry they will be telling Scotty what to do so they can do what ever they want.

It will be a Mexican stand off, if Australia becomes successful in making them pay it will most likely happen in other counties too. Fuck big corporates that don't want to pay tax anyhow.

Wouldn’t them paying for article snippets give them more expenses so they end up paying less tax though?

If they pay for local content it will be taxed locally to who ever they pay it to, they pay bugger all tax here.

maybe find a better way of taxing them then? i feel like effectively handing control of how search results pop up on end users screens to large media corporations isn't necissarily the way to get more tax dollars out of a search engine.
again, if google just jumped in on the coal bandwagon they'd be all peaches with scomo and his buddies. good plan if you ask me

Oh, yeah! I'm sure NewsCorp are paying their fair share of tax here too!

So you think it's better that people steal content and pay virtually nothing here and money goes offshore? Australia is fucked, nobody wants to work hard and we'll have a big covid debt after this pandemic finishes.

Not what I was inferring
There has to be some way of retaining the taxes here to benefit the users/country. I guess the problem is that some of the massive revenues these companies receive is always going to be funneled into lobbyists, campaign contributions and lawyers to ensure the loopholes stay open

They needed to get a foothold of the problem from the start, it's a bit like the Panama shelf companies. I'd be very surprised if google gives in, but the more money that stays here the better, and you can always filter what you veiw on google.
