Australia is currently considering a law which would require large market dominant websites that link to news articles to pay a fee to the news publishers in exchange for being able to link. Initially, the law would apply only to Google and Facebook, based on findings that these two companies dominate the market, but could potentially apply to other companies or websites if there is evidence to show a bargaining power imbalance. As a result, Google threatened to pull out of Australia entirely (but now seems to have begun contractual negotiations with publishers in anticipation of the new law), and Facebook has blocked users in Australia from posting or viewing links to material from news organizations. This clash is significant because the proposed law is a big step in regulating internet content providers under antitrust and might serve as a model for other countries to follow.
