Australia proposes News Bargaining Incentive levy on tech giants
The Australian government released a draft News Bargaining Incentive scheme proposing a 2.25% levy on tech giants like Google and Meta if they do not sign deals with local media outlets. The initiative aims to raise $250 million annually for journalism, though tech companies have criticized the plan as a digital services tax.
