I wonder if websites like Bigfooty will have to now pay and sign individual contracts with 'major' news organisations, or just disable sharing news links altogether?
Can any media content creator, like a Titus O'Reilly for example, get access to some of that sweet Google/Facebook money, or is it only for those with a dedicated legal department who can prove they are a 'central' news organisation?
The whole media code thing is just insane, and yet every major political party is like "that naughty Facebook should pay a fair price for news" despite the fact that they all pay Facebook to push their type of content in competition with shitloads of other types of content, not the other way around.
All this will do is further cement Facebook and Google's monopoly (lol imagine trying to do a social media startup in 2021 Australia) just so Murdoch & friends get a slightly bigger piece of the pie.
