In short, it’s no surprise that the Australian government sees America’s tech companies, which have done themselves no favors by trying to sidestep local taxes, as less worthy of… Source link

“Everything that I have heard from parties, both in the news media business and in terms of digital platforms, is that these are generous deals,” Frydenberg said. “These are fair deals. These are good deals. These are good deals for the Australian media businesses,” he added. Google and Facebook, which take a combined 81% of online advertising in Australia, have condemned the code as unworkable.

It leaked recently that Google plans to launch a foldable phone at some point in the near future – could that be the… Source link
