News:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Competition Commission of India has ordered a probe against Google for its \u2018alleged\u2019 abuse of dominant position in news aggregation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This step\u00a0of Indian government is followed by actions of Australian government.\u00a0Australia has\u00a0passed a law that required tech platforms like Google and Facebook to fairly pay local media outlets for\u00a0showing\u00a0their content in news feeds or search results.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the similar lines,\u00a0France has implemented the EU\u2019s updated copyright rules. These rules\u00a0require digital platforms to compensate news publishers for previews of news content.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Levy on tech giants for using News feeds is justified<\/span><\/b>?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First,<\/span><\/b>\u00a0an independent and financially viable media is very important for\u00a0a\u00a0democracy like\u00a0India.\u00a0Google and Facebook take away the 70-80% of advertising revenue that comes from digital consumption of news.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Second,<\/span><\/b>\u00a0responsibly produced news is important against social media jungle of half-truths, lies, fake content, superstition, manipulation and hate-mongering.\u00a0Thus, it is important that efforts, of producers of such news, be paid viably.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Third,<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Tech giants claim providing huge traffic to the news platforms, but it works both ways. Similarly, around 40% of trending queries on Google are news-related, bringing considerable traffic to it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
