Google to leave Australia ??
-
In a BBC News article today (also read this atricle) they mention that the big g are threatening to pull some services from Australia due the Australian government wanting to pass a law forcing tech giants to " pay media outlets for their news content".
Hmmm, well I'm not in Aus but as one who never used the big g much it would be no big deal to me.
How 'bout you Aussies? -
@guigirl You may be at a loss. grumble has just signed a deal with French for licensing agreements to pay for online content...
Oh well, they do have the money. -
That would be a parting so sweet as to not be leavened with the faintest molecule of sorrow.

I think his thread should be moved to the Technology category (and perhaps the Software sub-catagory).
-
@guigirl I fear the outcome would be very similar in other countries.
Perhaps Google would be willing to participate in a GLOBAL experiment and announce that they will remove ALL their services worldwide?
Just for science, you understand!

@TbGbe May I be one of the "Scientists" ??
