Australia just passed a bold new law forcing big tech to pay for news content they use—potentially levying 2.5% on digital ad revenue if no deals are struck with local outlets. Aimed at saving journalism and boosting regional media’s share from 10% to 20%, the move has drawn fire from U.S. Trump-aligned voices calling it a “shakedown” and threatening retaliatory tariffs. But Aussie officials remain confident, citing strong ties with the U.S. and pledging that supporting a free press is non-negotiable. The message? If you profit from Australian journalism, help fund it.
