I’ve been doing some digging in the report from the ACCC inquiry that is the basis for the proposed media code.

“Where users of Google Search or Google News click on a given article, they are referred to that media business’s website... Media businesses are paid according to the advertising on their own news websites.”

So, where is the idea that Google is taking advertising revenue that rightly belongs to the media org coming from?

Watching the senate inquiry on the #NMBC.

Do none of these senators understand the internet? Advertising? Marketing?

#auspol How are regional papers shutting down the responsibility of Google?

Everyone seems to be missing the big picture with the news media bargaining code.

There’s a whole bunch of issues that will result from it going ahead, or from Google pulling out in Australia. Firstly, there’s the issue of supporting Murdoch, and deepening his grip on the opinions of Australians.

Science denial, bigotry, division. Murdoch’s core products.

We don’t want them.
