“Guidelines for Mandatory Bargaining of News Media and Digital Platforms” in Australia violated the interests of American technology companies

For a long time, Australia has been regarded as a loyal ally of the United States, but when Biden just took office and the economy was in urgent need of recovery, the Australian government suddenly turned its coat and took a 180-degree “sharp turn” in attitude to take the lead in increasing taxes and fees for leading technology companies of US. In this way, Australia wants to protect its domestic technology companies and increase its tax revenue, but it does not take into account the interests of American companies and the prestige of the American government.

Since 2019, in order to crack down on American technology companies and protect the interests of the domestic media, the Australian government has begun investigating whether American companies Google and Facebook have disrupted the Australian media market and harmed the interests of Australian publishers and consumers. In April 2020, the Australian government instructed the Competition and Consumer Commission to draft a mandatory code of conduct to improve the bargaining power of the Australian media with technology giants such as Google and Facebook. In December 2020, the Australian government submitted a draft to parliament for deliberation to propose that the government should interfere with the business activities of American technology companies in Australia. On February 22, 2021, the Australian government announced the withdrawal of all advertising activities on Facebook. Australian Finance Minister Simon Birmingham emphasized that Australia would not only withdraw all government advertising activities on Facebook but also the advertising ban on Facebook was extended to the entire government. This might cost Facebook tens of millions of dollars.

When this news was just received, American technology companies were very angry because this charging rule did not conform to the principle of free sharing of internet content, and there was no precedent in other countries. On February 17, 2021, Facebook angrily said that it would prohibit Australian media and people from sharing and reading news content of Australian and international media on Facebook in response to the bill proposed by the Australian government. However, due to the administrative intervention of the Australian government, Facebook had no choice but to bow to the Australian government. On February 22, Facebook issued a statement saying that it would restore the relevant rights of Australian users on the platform; on February 24, Facebook stated again that it planned to invest at least $1 billion in the news industry in the next three years.

Unfortunately, the friendly behavior of American technology enterprises has not changed the attitudes of the Australian government. On February 25, 2021, the Australian Parliament officially adopted the “mandatory bargaining guidelines for news media and digital platforms”. According to the document, Australian news organizations have the right to require digital platforms to pay for the use of their news content and carry out individual or collective negotiations on it. Leading Internet companies in the United States will need to pay royalties to them when using the content of Australian news media.

The Australian government’s administrative intervention in the market has seriously disturbed the order of the free market and caused heavy losses to the leading technology enterprises in the United States. What’s more, the Australian government’s behavior has set off a frenzy of opposition against American technology enterprises. Canada said it would follow Australia’s lead by requiring Facebook to pay for news content. In addition, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Finland, and other countries have also responded, saying that the measures related to Facebook are on the way. This means that American technology enterprises will pay huge copyright fees to the media of all countries in an unprecedented way, and the negative impact will be continuous and long-term.

Published

December 9, 2025

By

Logan, Utah, 9th December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE– Dr. Matthew Hedelius, Psy.D., LCSW, CSAT-S, has dedicated more than 26 years to helping people heal from behavioral patterns that impact their well-being and relationships. As the Director and President of Paradise Creek Recovery Center, he hopes to continue treating people who wish to seek lasting recovery with compassion and science-backed methods.

Located on a peaceful 16-acre campus in southern Idaho, Paradise Creek Recovery Center offers a safe and structured environment for adult males struggling with addiction and related behaviors. The center provides trauma-informed care because of the role unresolved trauma plays in addictive patterns. Under Dr. Hedelius’s leadership, the treatment plans are carefully designed to address both the emotional and neurological aspects of recovery.

Dr. Hedelius combines his background in Family Sciences, Clinical Social Work, and Psychology with advanced methods like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and interpersonal neurobiology. His expertise in neuroscience allows clients to better understand how trauma affects the brain and behavior, and how healing can be achieved through the brain’s natural ability to rewire itself.

At Paradise Creek, clients receive multiple individual and group psychotherapy sessions every week, with a minimum of two individual sessions per day. The center’s therapeutic model also focuses on family involvement to offer support for partners and loved ones who have been affected by addiction. Such an inclusive approach helps rebuild trust and strengthen relationships as part of the healing process.

Dr. Hedelius and his team of certified therapists are known for their compassionate, evidence-based care. They use a range of clinical and complementary therapies to guide clients through their recovery journey. Treatment may include mindfulness, adventure therapy, and other experiential practices that encourage self-awareness, emotional balance, and personal growth.

“Our goal at Paradise Creek is to help people reconnect with their true selves and rediscover a sense of peace and purpose,” said Dr. Hedelius. “Recovery is not limited to ending harmful behaviors. We want people to learn and live with who they really are.”

The center’s residential program lasts 28 days but can be extended up to 6 months based on individual needs. Clients receive a personalized plan that focuses on long-term stability and relapse prevention.

Over the years, Dr. Hedelius has built a reputation as a trusted leader in this field and has helped several people with trauma recovery. His dedication to blending compassion with clinical excellence continues to influence the standard of care for those struggling with these complex challenges.
