New Delhi, Jan 24 (Ians) As the News Media Bargaining Code triggers a bitter war between Google and the Australian government, the tech giant has detailed eight facts on why reaching a workable Code is important but serious concerns with the current draft remain.
Google said that it supports a fair Code but the current version remains unworkable.
"We believe that the concerns we and others have raised can be addressed with reasonable changes. We have proposed a solution that would see Google pay publishers for value under this new law -- without breaking Google Search," the company said in a statement.
Rod Sims, chair of the watchdog Competition and Consumer Commission (Accc), said on Friday that Google and Facebook just don't want the code to be implemented.
"Google and Facebook like to do things on their terms. I think the code does what it's intended to do. It is workable.
