We take a look at the dispute and its implications:
What is Australia s new media law?
The proposed News Media Bargaining Code stipulates that digital platforms, such as Facebook and Google, must pay for journalistic content based on negotiations with news outlets.
It includes a negotiation safety net as an attempt to prevent tech giants from dominating negotiations with news media.
According to the bill, a panel would decide on the fairest bid if the two negotiating parties do not agree.
Australia s House of Representatives has already passed the bill, and the Senate is expected to approve.
Why do Facebook and Google object?
