Microsoft confirmed to continue providing services in Australia, albeit the charging.

Shortly after the news was released that Australia would charge for content, there was strong resistance from many affected companies. Unexpectedly, a giant company like Microsoft announced that “Even though Australia charged [us] for content fees and enacted the Media Code, Microsoft will continue to support Australia.”.

The Australian Government will pass the Media Code as social networks like Google and Facebook have overpowered the media industry’s market, which is also a potential threat to democracy in Australia. Their actions are causing a wide range of criticisms, resistance, and threats from many affected companies. One of these is Google, which has threatened to quit its service in Australia if the Australian Government insists on enforcing this Media Code in the country. Australian treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, argues that “the regulations aim to provide justice to the Australian news business.”

Recently, after Google revealed that it will cancel its searching function in Australia, the giant company like Microsoft has made they move by announcing to the media that “The company will not use the same threat of stopping their services in Australia as other tech companies do. Even though the Australian Government prepares to enforce the Media Code. “.

Mr. Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president, said, “One thing is clear: while other tech companies may sometimes threaten to stop providing services in Australia, Microsoft will never make such a threat. We are committed to supporting Australia’s national security and economic success.”.

The Australian Government is on course to pass laws that would make tech giants negotiate payments with local publishers and broadcasters to use their content. If they cannot reach a mutual agreement, a government-appointed arbitrator will decide on the price.
