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

Published

on

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.

New Findings Reveal a Hidden Indoor Air Quality Crisis Linked to Aging HVAC Systems and Fiberglass Ductwork Across South Florida

Published

on

United States, 24th Jan 2026 – New findings released by Fix Mold Miami, a leading environmental services firm based in South Florida, are drawing attention to a growing indoor air quality issue affecting homes and buildings across the region.

Based on recent field investigations and indoor air quality testing Florida, Fix Mold reports that aging HVAC systems and deteriorating fiberglass ductwork may be releasing harmful particles directly into indoor air.

Many systems installed between 1970 and 2000 rely on fiberglass duct board, sealants, and insulation that can degrade over time. Fix Mold specialists have frequently identified these conditions during mold inspection Miami and mold inspection South Florida services, linking them to declining indoor air quality.

A Regional Indoor Air Quality Problem Driven by Aging HVAC Systems in South Florida

Fix Mold Miami’s investigations show that many fiberglass-lined duct systems in South Florida homes and commercial buildings are reaching the end of their usable life.

As these materials break down, they can release microscopic fiberglass particles, trap moisture, and contribute to HVAC mold contamination. This pattern has been identified across residential and commercial properties, including cases that required mold remediation in Miami after standard HVAC servicing failed.

Fix Mold Develops Practical Solutions for Mold Removal, HVAC Mold Cleaning, and Water Damage

  • Forensic evaluation of fiberglass duct deterioration
  • Removal or isolation of compromised duct sections
  • Encapsulation or sealing protocols when appropriate
  • HEPA-based filtration and containment strategies
  • Moisture control and humidity management plans
  • Preventative maintenance programs
  • Emergency mold services following leaks or flooding
  • Integrated response for commercial water damage restoration

  • Advanced diagnostics, including thermal imaging and lab testing
  • 24/7 live concierge support for urgent needs
  • End-to-end services, from residential and commercial mold remediation to HVAC mold cleaning and commercial water damage restoration

“Most homeowners assume they’ve clean air just because the AC is running,” said a senior Fix Mold environmental specialist. “What we uncover often explains why symptoms linger. Once people understand what’s circulating through their home, they can finally take control.”
