Google Threatens to Cut Ties with New Zealand News Over Proposed Content Law: Reuters
Oct 4, 2024, 04:05 AM
Google has issued a stern warning to New Zealand, stating it will stop linking to New Zealand news articles and terminate agreements with local news organizations if the government proceeds with a proposed law. The law aims to force tech giants to pay a fair price for content that appears on their feeds. This move follows similar legislation introduced in Australia in 2021, which required internet companies to negotiate content supply deals with media outlets. A review by the Australian government in 2022 found the law to be largely effective. Google's actions, reported by Reuters, highlight the ongoing tension between tech giants and governments over fair compensation for news content, which has been estimated to be worth millions of pounds.
