“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.

Edison.Watch Launches Advanced AI Security Framework at Web Summit Qatar Event
New Deterministic Security Model Closes Critical Data Protection Gaps as Enterprises Deploy Autonomous AI Workflows
Doha, Qatar, 17th February, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE– Edison.Watch today announced the launch of its Agentic AI Security Framework at Web Summit Qatar, introducing a new approach to enterprise AI security designed to address emerging risks posed by autonomous AI systems operating across organisational infrastructure.
As enterprises increasingly deploy agentic AI systems capable of independently executing workflows across email, cloud storage, messaging platforms, and internal databases, traditional data protection and access control models are proving insufficient. Edison.Watch’s new framework provides enterprises with security controls purpose-built for this next generation of AI automation.
Security Models Must Evolve for Autonomous AI
Unlike traditional AI assistants, agentic AI systems operate continuously and autonomously, accessing and transferring data between systems without constant human supervision. When these systems inherit broad user permissions, they can unintentionally aggregate and distribute sensitive information beyond authorised boundaries.

This creates new risks, including AI-driven data leakage, unauthorised data sharing, and increased exposure to insider threat scenarios.

“Agentic AI is transforming how work gets done, but it also introduces an entirely new class of security challenges,” said the Edison.Watch team at Web Summit Qatar. “Enterprise security architectures must evolve to ensure data remains protected even when AI agents operate independently across systems.”
Introducing Agent-Aware RBAC for Agentic AI
At the core of the framework is agent-aware role-based access control (RBAC), a model specifically designed for autonomous AI workflows.
Traditional AI safeguards often rely on prompt filtering or detection of sensitive data elements. In contrast, agent-aware RBAC focuses on tracking and controlling data flows throughout an AI agent’s entire workflow session.

Above: How RBAC breaks down just by connecting agents to your documents and email.
Once sensitive data enters an agent workflow, policy enforcement continues across all subsequent actions. Unauthorised exports through email, messaging platforms, or file-sharing tools are automatically blocked, preventing data leaks before they occur.
The framework recommends that organisations adopt one of two approaches:
- Limit which external tools AI agents can use to export data
• Deploy a centralised AI security gateway that enforces policy-aware controls without disrupting productivity
Addressing the Enterprise AI Visibility Fragmentation
A major challenge in securing agentic AI is the lack of centralised visibility into agent behaviour. Security teams often see fragmented logs across multiple platforms, making it difficult to monitor activity or investigate incidents.
The Edison.Watch framework addresses this through a centralised AI security gateway that routes agent tool interactions through a unified inspection layer. This enables:
- Real-time monitoring of agent activity
• Faster detection of security incidents
• Unified audit trails across AI workflows
• Improved governance and compliance oversight
• Integrations with standard SIEM tools

Helping IT Leaders Adopt AI without Security Theatre
While major AI providers remain cautious about enabling fully autonomous tool execution due to security concerns, enterprise demand for secure AI automation continues to grow rapidly.
The Edison.Watch framework provides a practical path forward, enabling organisations to deploy agentic AI while maintaining strong governance, compliance, and data protection controls.

Availability
The Agentic AI Security Framework is available today as part of OpenEdison, an open-source freemium local AI gateway platform designed to help enterprises securely deploy agentic AI workflows at scale.
Organisations seeking guidance on agentic AI security, AI governance, and enterprise AI data protection can contact Edison.Watch at hello@edison.watch or schedule a demo at cal.com/eito80/demo.
About Edison.Watch
Edison.Watch specialises in enterprise security solutions for agentic AI environments. The company develops security frameworks, monitoring platforms, and governance tools designed to protect data as autonomous AI systems access and move information across enterprise infrastructure.
