“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.

Box Hill Radio Interview Puts Spotlight on Gum Disease Prevention With Dr. Samantha Lew
Mason Square Dental’s Dr. Samantha Lew speaks to Box Hill Radio about early warning signs of gum disease and the everyday habits that can prevent long-term dental problems.
Australia, 4th Aug 2026 – A little bleeding when brushing, lingering bad breath, or tender gums can seem easy to brush off. But according to Mason Square Dental’s Dr. Samantha Lew, those small signs can be the start of bigger oral health problems if left untreated.
In a recent interview with Box Hill Radio, Dr. Lew spoke about the everyday habits and warning signs that can make the difference between healthy teeth and preventable dental problems. Her message was simple: gum disease often starts quietly, and the earlier people act, the easier it is to protect their teeth and overall oral health.
For Dr. Lew, the issue is not just clinical. It is personal for many families who put off appointments because life is busy, budgets are tight, or fear gets in the way. By the time pain appears, what may have started as a manageable problem can feel far more overwhelming than it needed to be.
That is why Dr. Lew used the interview to focus on reassurance as much as advice. She encouraged listeners to pay attention to early symptoms such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum tenderness, and reminded them that regular dental visits, daily brushing and flossing, and limiting frequent sugar exposure can play a major role in preventing both gum disease and tooth damage.
Dr. Lew brings both experience and perspective to that message. Her background in both dentistry and public health reflects a career shaped not only by treatment, but by education, prevention, and long-term community wellbeing.
She is especially well regarded for her work with children and families, and for helping nervous patients feel more comfortable in the dental chair. That caring approach has helped make her a trusted clinician for local patients and a credible voice in broader conversations about oral health.
“Samantha’s radio interview is a strong reflection of what we stand for at Mason Square Dental — clear communication, preventative care, and community connection,” said Dr. Shelly Finnerty, owner of Mason Square Dental. “Her focus is always on helping people understand what’s happening in their mouths, why it matters, and what they can do early to keep teeth healthy.”
Dr. Lew has also been actively involved in the Victorian branch of the Australian Dental Association, serves on the Oral Health Committee, and has volunteered her time providing dental care in remote communities. Those contributions reinforce her longstanding commitment to improving oral health beyond the walls of the clinic.
For Mason Square Dental, the story behind the interview is ultimately a simple one: good oral health advice can change outcomes when people hear it early enough. By taking that message to radio, Dr. Lew is helping more people understand that healthy teeth start with healthy gums, and that prevention is always easier than repair.

Press Release
UK FINANCIAL LTD LAUNCHES UK FINANCIAL WORLD THROUGH NEW PROJECT-MANAGEMENT PARTNERSHIPS
UK Financial Ltd introduces UK Financial World, a new division created to partner in the management, development, promotion, and long-term growth of meme coins, cryptocurrency projects, blockchain ventures, and tokenized real-world assets. Through its Management Partner Program, UK Financial World will collaborate with independently owned and corporate blockchain projects, providing strategic management, marketing, technology, and operational support while helping expand the next generation of Web3 innovation.
Dover, De, United States, 4th Aug 2026 – UK Financial Ltd today announced the creation of UK Financial World, a new division established through a strategic partnership focused on the management, development, promotion, and expansion of digital-asset projects.
The new division will operate through the official domain, UK Financial.World, and will provide a dedicated platform for UK Financial Ltd and its partners to jointly manage a wide range of blockchain-based ventures.
UK Financial World will serve as a partner-manager for different categories of projects, including meme coins, community-driven tokens, traditional cryptocurrency projects, blockchain applications, and tokenized real-world assets.
As part of the UK Financial World Management Partner Program, eligible holders of MAYA3, the official gas token of the upcoming UK Financial Ltd Layer 3 blockchain, MAYA-CHAIN, will qualify to receive complimentary tokens from projects entering the program.
To qualify, MAYA3 must be held in the holder’s MayaPro Wallet, allowing the company to verify eligibility and distribute the partner-project tokens directly. After receiving the complimentary tokens, holders may transfer them from their MayaPro Wallet, subject to the applicable terms and transfer requirements of each project.
The first two projects entering the UK Financial World Management Partner Program are KIM JONG JELLY 3 (JELLY), and COQUIZILLA (COQZ).
KIM JONG JELLY ($JELLY) is a community-driven meme coin built around the outrageous parody of a man who hated America until he discovered the jelly. Supported by a social-media community of more than 50,000 members, the project combines internet humor, meme culture, and community participation with the goal of becoming one of the crypto industry’s next recognized meme-coin projects.
COQUIZILLA ($COQZ) is a Puerto Rican-inspired meme coin built around the legendary coquí frog—the smallest frog with the loudest voice. Created for entertainment and community engagement, $COQZ combines viral internet culture with a bold, recognizable mascot designed to grow into a global Web3 brand through memes, digital content, gaming, and community participation.
UK Financial World is providing token holders with seven days from today (August 10,2026) to satisfy the program’s eligibility requirements. Eligible holders who own MAYA3 at the end of the seven-day qualification period will receive complimentary distributions of KIM JONG JELLY ($JELLY) and COQUIZILLA ($COQZ) Tokens.
UK Financial Ltd will distribute complimentary tokens to all eligible MAYA3 holders who qualify by August 31, 2026.
As long as they remain eligible holders of MAYA3, they will also qualify to receive complimentary tokens from all current and future projects entering the UK Financial World Management Partner Program. The qualifying MAYA3 tokens must be held in the holder’s MayaPro Wallet when eligibility is verified, and every distribution will remain subject to the terms and requirements of the applicable project.
Through the program, each project can receive a dedicated identity, management structure, development strategy, marketing direction, and long-term growth plan while benefiting from the combined experience, relationships, technology, and infrastructure of the partners.
UK Financial World will also allow UK Financial Ltd to partner with and manage independently owned projects without creating the impression that every project is owned directly by UK Financial Ltd. Certain projects may remain owned by their founders, creators, or outside partners, while UK Financial World participates as a strategic management, development, and operating partner.
The official UKFinancial.World platform will become the central destination for information regarding the division’s partnerships, managed projects, token launches, meme-coin initiatives, blockchain developments, and tokenized real-world asset programs.
The launch of UK Financial World represents the continued expansion of UK Financial Ltd and establishes a dedicated home for new partnerships across the digital-asset, blockchain, meme-token, and real-world asset industries. The division will continue to expand through strategic partnerships.
Project owners interested in joining the UK Financial World Management Partner Program may submit their applications through the official UKFinancial.World website:
