Google should just leave Australia, and Australia will find a way to bring em back without any of this nonsense... Also, thanks for all the input, ive been extremely busy with work this past week I haven't been able to read or even create my own opinion about this, this whole thread is a good read.
-
The more I see and think about this, the more I realise the absolute lows Google will go just to get consumers to simp for them... Google is doing nothing but misinforming the public, imagine if they were allowed to do this all the time. I've decided, I'm for this "code", not against.

That was condescending yea, im just a basic bish

I honestly agree with everything you've said. I believe Google has blown this way out of proportion and want to convince us this is bad so they can stop this from happening for Google's own benefit. Just like @Mihle has said... They're riling us up to go against this, which in turn they will use as an excuse to get out of this bill/code, which honestly doesn't seem as bad, if any bad at all, as it has been portrayed. Oh well.
-
I guess that's probably why they're going around alerting everyone so that they can say that the code is not in public interest, because they've essentially riled us up against the ACCC.
-
I think this line, in the Open Letter, is what is concerning... What this tells me is that this may create equality between "news", but not equality between "news" and "youtube videos", or other forms of contact. e.g. someone may google "tiktok news", and it will only boost/advertise/show news articles, and youtube videos, or websites that may relate to that search will be more hidden, less accessible. but I also think Google's hiding something lmao...
-
Thanks for that! Yea I read the Google release, and all I felt and saw was negative. I also did go through the ACCC site regarding the code, (didn't look into it deeply), but I did see some questionable stuff, but I would really like to know what else you find. Please share your findings with us!

Lmao, oops, they all seem to be working for me though... I'll redo them here and on the original post: https://about.google/ https://about.google/google-in-australia/an-open-letter/ https://www.accc.gov.au/focus-areas/digital-platforms/news-media-bargaining-code

Some extra information from the proposed law, the "News media bargaining code" can be seen here directly on the ACCC's site: https://www.accc.gov.au/focus-areas/digital-platforms/news-media-bargaining-code

Honestly, i've never gone to google.com.au, always google.com, then again it probably gets forwarded to /au or .au. Even so, it just comes up at the bottom saying "Australia". I don't see a clear difference between the two anyway...

Summary New Laws in Australia have forced Google to change the way Google and YouTube work, including the possibility of handing user data over to big news businesses. Quotes My thoughts Google has gone out and highlighted the terms "search", "at risk", and "hurting" which shows how Google, and the I personally feel about this. This will have a massive negative impact on how the government, and other organisations can control what we consume and have access to.
