Google has decided to hide some Australian news sites from its search results, in a move that is being interpreted as a response to the Australian Government attempting to make the tech giant pay for original news content.
Key points:
- Google is currently burying links to some Australian commercial news sites
- The company says the “experiment” only affects about 1 per cent of Australian users
- Experts say tech giant is “throwing its weight around” while under pressure to pay for local news content
