Amid the standoff with Facebook, the contentious media law has been passed by Australia. The new media law will require tech firms to pay for local news content. The law was strictly opposed by Google and Facebook. Google and Facebook will invest tens of millions of dollars to pay for displaying news content from local media firms. Facebook is likely to pay news providers whose content is displayed on the platform.
