After govt. agrees to tweak law, firm says it will pay media companies for content; Google to follow suit
Australia’s Treasurer Josh Frydenberg announced a face-saving compromise that will see Google and Facebook plunge tens of millions of dollars into the struggling local news sector.
In return the U.S. digital firms will, for now, avoid being subjected to mandatory payments that could cost them vastly more and create what they see as an alarming global precedent.

In denying news content to its Australian users, Facebook is arguably overplaying its hand, behaving as a big company that thinks it can intimidate governments.
If it keeps doing this, it will ultimately lose customers, and thatâs the last thing Facebook wants.

Australia-Facebook row: What you need to know | News | DW

We take a look at the dispute and its implications:
What is Australia's new media law?
The proposed News Media Bargaining Code stipulates that digital platforms, such as Facebook and Google, must pay for journalistic content based on negotiations with news outlets.
It includes a negotiation safety net as an attempt to prevent tech giants from dominating negotiations with news media.
According to the bill, a panel would decide on the fairest bid if the two negotiating parties do not agree.
Australia's House of Representatives has already passed the bill, and the Senate is expected to approve.
Why do Facebook and Google object?

Google takes on Australian govt, threatens to pull search engine over unworkable media law

HIGHLIGHTS
The threat has been issued over a proposed media law.
Australian govt has proposed Google pay news publishers for their content.
The standoff between Google and Australian authorities appears to be getting serious as the company has threatened to stop making its popular search engine available in Australia if a proposed law by the Australian government is brought into effect.
This proposed law has become such a flashpoint as it would see Google forced to pay news publishers for their content -- the first for the tech giant across the globe. The proposed law which will also see Facebook pay publishers is largely seeing a pushback from Google which has made its views on the matter clear.
