It is too early to make a decision on the need to force tech giants Facebook and Google under the Morrison government’s media code as they continue to negotiate deals with media companies, says the head of the competition watchdog. The only criteria for success of the code was media companies being able to come to fair commercial deals with the big tech players,” Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Rod Sims told
The Australian Financial Review.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has said the news media bargaining code, which became law at the end of February, would not apply to Facebook and Google if they reached agreements with enough media companies in Australia.
“Guardian journalism is already a trusted source of news on Facebook in Australia, so we welcome the opportunity to licence our content to the platform. We look forward to partnering with Facebook to make the launch of News tab a success,” Stinton said.
Facebook’s news partnerships lead for Australia and New Zealand, Andrew Hunter, welcomed the agreement.
“We are pleased to partner with Guardian Australia to bring additional news posts to Facebook,” he said. “Facebook will continue to work with a variety of publishers to support the sustainability of Australia’s news industry.”
Facebook’s News tab has yet to launch in Australia, but will be a dedicated news feed for journalism on Facebook, curated by Facebook staff. When the product launched in the UK in January, the Guardian reported it was expected Facebook would pay millions of pounds per year to local publishers.
