Alphabet Inc's Google on Monday said a proposed antitrust law in Australia forcing tech firms to pay for news that appears on their social media websites would adversely impact individual content creators and channel operators.
Google said the law proposed last month would help big media firms artificially inflate their search ranking, luring more viewers to their platforms and giving them an unfair advantage over small contributors running their own websites or YouTube channels.Google's YouTube video service allows individuals and companies to create channels featuring advertisements that create revenue for both them and YouTube.
"This law wouldn't just impact the way Google and YouTube work with news media businesses - it would impact all of our Australian users," Google Australia Managing Director Mel Silva said in a post titled"Open letter to Australians".
