Australia's government plans to impose charges on major tech companies, including Meta and Google, if they do not compensate local media for news content on their platforms. This initiative aims to incentivize agreements between digital platforms and Australian news publishers. Companies generating over $250 million in Australian revenue could be affected. Critics argue that the plan overlooks how users engage with these platforms, as news is not the primary reason for visits.
