The legislation would create a mandatory bargaining code between publishers and Facebook and Google, requiring the two platforms to host news from any publisher that participates in the code and to pay for that content at a price set by an arbitrator. That’s a controversial proposition, since neither Facebook nor Google force news outlets to share their content on Facebook or in Google News, since both Facebook and Google already share revenue with publishers, and since news doesn’t make much money for tech platforms. The law makes it impossible for Facebook to block only Australian news content, so the company’s plan is to prevent Australians from sharing news from any news site, including international publications like The New York Times and The Guardian.
