Read –\u00a0<\/span>CCI\u2019s Google probe<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the recent years, many countries such as Australia and France have tried to correct the balance between the big tech companies and\u00a0traditional journalism industry.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the case in India?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In India, the complaint has been made by India\u2019s Digital News Publishers Association against Google. It has alleged that Google\u00a0abuses its\u00a0dominant\u00a0position\u00a0by not providing a fair share of the advertising monies and by not providing adequate information.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Further the association has complaint that Google does not pay for the news snippets that appear in search.\u00a0Also, the\u00a0terms of engagement are \u201cunilaterally and arbitrarily\u201d, which are dictated by Google without any consultation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
