Australia, Facebook for the payment dispute to bar each other, Canada 18 also joined the battle and contact with multiple countries, stressing that they will not back down. Shen Rongqin, associate professor at York University in Canada, believes that technology giants are facing challenges around the world, and as countries face the influence of technology giants, a global organization is needed to coordinate and integrate communication and action.
Australia for the payment dispute barred Facebook and Google, Facebook is not willing to show weakness to block the Australian news, continued negotiations, Google is concession to sign, but previously responsible for the development of relevant laws, Canada’s Minister of Cultural Assets Guilbert (Steven Guilbeault), has long joined the fray, condemned Facebook’s actions against Australia, and said it would not deter Canada’s determination.
Guilbeault pointed out that Canada could follow the Australian model and ask Facebook and Google to reach an agreement with news media to push the social giant to pay for news content on its platform. Another option would be to follow France’s lead and require large tech platforms to engage in open dialogue with publishers.
Shen Rongqin pointed out on Facebook, Gibert revealed and Australia, France, Germany and Finland government contact, it is estimated that there will be more than five countries to join, and doubts whether Facebook will then and France, Germany and other countries also cut off contact; he said, not only Canada, the United Kingdom also voiced criticism of Facebook, saying that its practice is irresponsible.
Shen Rongqin said that France asked Google to sign a contract according to the EU’s strict copyright law, so in theory, the other 27 EU countries can also make similar requests to Google and Facebook.
Shen Rongqin believes that technology giants are facing challenges around the world, and in the face of their extensive global influence, what is needed is a “global organization” to coordinate, integrate communication and action, but no concrete action has been seen worldwide.
