Google threatens to shut off search engine in Australia over news law - New York Post

Google on Friday threatened to shut off its search engine in Australia if officials there approve a law requiring it to pay news publishers for their content.

The Silicon Valley titan escalated its aggressive fight against the proposal, saying the measure would “break the way Google works” because the company would have to pay to show links to news articles.

“If the code were to become law in its current form, we would have no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia.”

The controversial proposal would allow news companies to negotiate payments from Google and Facebook for the use of their content that appears in search results or news feeds

Google had previously said the measure would put its free services — including its search engine and YouTube — “at risk” in Australia if it became law
