Sydney: Google is reviving plans to launch
its own news website in Australia within weeks, according to a local media
outlet contracted to provide articles for the venture, as the search giant
fights world-first proposed laws on content payments.
The launch of the News Showcase product as early as
next month is Google's latest tactic in a high-profile campaign against the
Australian government's planned legislation to make the company pay local news
providers for content that appears in its search engine.
"Right now, no website
or search engine pays to connect people to other sites through links,"
Silva said in the undated post. "This law would change that, making Google
pay to provide links for the first time in our history."
