\tAustralia\u2019s parliament passed a controversial law requiring Google and Facebook to negotiate licensing agreements with local media companies for their news content, following last-minute changes introduced after the internet giants resisted.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Communications Minister Paul Fletcher said: \u201cThe code will ensure that news media businesses are fairly remunerated for the content they generate, helping to sustain public-interest journalism in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The legislation initially only applies to Google and Facebook: the Treasury will review it within a year to ensure it is delivering the intended outcomes.<\/p>\n

In a statement yesterday (24 February), Facebook VP of global affairs Nick Clegg said it looked forward to agreeing to deals with publishers and enabling Australians to share news links again.<\/p>\n

He said there is a \u201cfundamental misunderstanding of the relationship between Facebook and news publishers\u201d, claiming it generated about 5.1 billion free referrals worth an estimated AUD407 million ($324 million) to the news industry in 2020.<\/p>\n

The legislation passed after amendments [1] which mean Google and Facebook won\u2019t have to pay for specific news content if they forge commercial deals with media businesses.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s move was seen as a potential template for other nations due to concerns the web giants are monopolising news content, with Canada the latest country reported to be considering legislating [2] against the companies.<\/p>\n
