“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.

Published

on

India, 27th Apr 2026 – As the global pharmaceutical industry gathers for the India Pharma Expo 2026 at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad from April 23 to 25, Bry-Air Pvt Ltd, a global pioneer in environmental control solutions, is set to demonstrate its next-generation technologies designed specifically to meet the rigorous compliance and sustainability demands of Pharma 4.0 manufacturing. Moving beyond generic air quality management, Bry-Air is reinforcing its leadership in India by introducing a paradigm shift in pharmaceutical humidity control. 

From Silica to MOF: Redefining Pharmaceutical Humidity Control For 35 years, the pharmaceutical industry has relied heavily on silica gel as a desiccant for dehumidification. At the India Pharma Expo, Bry-Air is unveiling a breakthrough dehumidifier utilizing Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs); a highly porous material technology linked to Nobel Prize-winning chemistry. This MOF-integrated technology delivers a staggering 60% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional systems while maintaining strict atmospheric sterility. Achieving rotor regeneration temperatures as low as 80°C, this innovation is specifically tailored to prevent contamination in dry powder filling, soft gelatin capsule manufacturing, and vial filling, solving critical operational and environmental challenges for modern pharmaceutical factories. 

Securing the Pharma Cold Chain with Comprehensive Dehumidification Solutions 

With cold chain logistics serving as a major theme at the expo, Bry-Air addresses the challenges of vaccine and biological refrigeration environments with its advanced cold room dehumidifiers. From cold storage dehumidifiers to desiccant dehumidifiers for cold rooms, Bry-Air provides solutions that prevent condensation, ice formation, and moisture-related damage in temperature-sensitive storage facilities. These systems include freezer dehumidification, cold dehumidifiers, and dehumidifiers for cold rooms, enabling pharmaceutical logistics providers and food processing industries to maintain product efficacy and comply with strict regulatory standards. The company’s cold room dehumidification solutions exemplify Bry-Air’s commitment to performance and reliability in challenging environments. 

Sustainable Operations with Advanced Adsorption Chillers 

Bry-Air’s adsorption chillers remain at the forefront of sustainable cooling technology for large-scale pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing. As leading adsorption chiller manufacturers, Bry-Air designs chillers that leverage desiccant-based adsorption principles to deliver efficient and eco-friendly cooling for industrial applications. These desiccant coolers are tailored to meet the decarbonization goals of modern manufacturing by converting low-grade industrial waste heat into operational cooling energy, offering reduced energy consumption while maintaining precise temperature control. 

Beyond Pharma: Enabling the EV Transition with Dry Room Solutions

Meeting the exacting requirements of the lithium battery industry, Bry-Air offers state-of-the-art dry room solutions. Designed for battery dry rooms, dry rooms for battery manufacturing, and lithium battery dry rooms, these solutions provide a controlled, low-humidity environment essential for high-quality battery production.

A forum-style space for collectors to share finds, ask questions, post wrist shots, and weigh in on releases. Built for the people who actually wear the watches.

8. The Promo Code Database

A regularly updated, community-verified list of working discount codes for brands and retailers. No expired codes. No clickbait coupon sites.

Every feature on WatchPolice.com is available at no cost. The platform is independent, community-driven, and built specifically for the people making and collecting watches today — including the rapidly growing microbrand scene that often gets overlooked by larger industry tools.
