“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.

Young Turkish Entrepreneur Emin Can Yoldaş Expands Digital Ventures in Thailand With Launch of Independent News Platform

Published

on

Nineteen-year-old founder builds a digital marketing agency and a local news platform while seeking strategic partnerships to accelerate innovation and business growth across Thailand.

Thailand, 29th Jul 2026 – Young entrepreneur Emin Can Yoldaş is expanding his footprint in Thailand’s digital economy through the continued growth of his digital marketing agency, LatestVisual, and the recent launch of Thailand Paper, an independent local news platform designed to deliver timely news and community-focused reporting. At just 19 years old, the Turkish entrepreneur is pursuing an ambitious vision of combining digital innovation, media, and marketing services while creating long-term opportunities for businesses operating in Thailand.

Living and working in Thailand, Yoldaş has focused on building businesses that address the growing demand for professional digital solutions and reliable online media. His entrepreneurial journey reflects the increasing number of young founders who are leveraging international experience and technology to create businesses with both local relevance and global aspirations.

Building a Digital Marketing Agency for Business Growth

LatestVisual was established to help businesses strengthen their online presence through modern digital marketing strategies. The agency provides a broad range of services, including search engine optimisation (SEO), content marketing, web development, branding, and customised digital growth strategies designed to improve visibility and generate sustainable business results.

By working with companies seeking to expand their digital reach, LatestVisual aims to deliver practical marketing solutions tailored to each client’s objectives. As businesses continue investing in digital transformation, the agency focuses on combining creative branding with data-driven marketing approaches that help organisations compete in an increasingly competitive online marketplace.

Yoldaş believes that strong digital foundations enable businesses of all sizes to reach wider audiences, build stronger customer relationships, and create lasting brand value.

Launching Thailand Paper With a Long-Term Vision

Alongside his marketing agency, Yoldaş recently launched Thailand Paper, a local news website dedicated to covering developments across Thailand. The platform was created to provide accessible reporting while supporting a growing demand for independent digital news sources serving local communities and international readers interested in Thailand.

Thailand Paper represents a significant milestone in Yoldaş’s entrepreneurial journey. Rather than simply creating another online publication, he envisions developing the platform into one of Thailand’s leading independent news websites by continually expanding its editorial coverage, strengthening its digital presence, and investing in sustainable media growth.

The platform is expected to cover a broad range of topics relevant to readers throughout Thailand while adapting to changing digital media consumption habits.

International Ambitions Drive Continued Expansion

As a Turkish entrepreneur building businesses abroad, Yoldaş sees Thailand as a dynamic environment for innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital development. His international perspective has helped shape both LatestVisual and Thailand Paper, with each business serving different but complementary roles within the country’s growing digital landscape.

His long-term objective is to continue expanding both companies while exploring new opportunities within digital media, technology, and business development. By combining marketing expertise with media publishing, he aims to create an ecosystem that supports business growth while contributing to Thailand’s evolving digital economy.

The launch of Thailand Paper also reflects a broader trend of entrepreneurs investing in independent digital publishing platforms capable of serving increasingly connected audiences through accessible online journalism.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Extends Beyond Business

In addition to his entrepreneurial activities, Yoldaş participates in Thailand’s amateur motorcycle racing community as a Big Bike Supersport racer. His involvement in motorsports demonstrates the same determination, discipline, and competitive mindset that he applies to building businesses.

Balancing entrepreneurship with racing has reinforced qualities such as focus, resilience, and continuous improvement—characteristics that have become central to his professional development as he pursues ambitious business goals at a young age.

Seeking Strategic Partnerships for Future Growth

As both businesses continue to develop, Yoldaş is actively seeking investors, strategic partners, and business collaborations to help accelerate the expansion of Thailand Paper and LatestVisual.

He welcomes opportunities to work with organisations, investors, media professionals, and businesses interested in supporting innovative digital projects, expanding independent media initiatives, and developing new marketing solutions for companies operating in Thailand and beyond.

With ambitious plans for continued growth, Yoldaş remains committed to building sustainable businesses that combine innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship while creating value for clients, readers, and future partners.

MEXC Integrates World-Check to Fortify Institutional Grade Compliance Architecture

Published

on

Mutsamudu, Comoros, July 29th, 2026, Chainwire

“In a rapidly maturing digital asset market, relying on fragmented risk data is a critical vulnerability. Building a resilient ecosystem demands institutional-grade intelligence.”

MEXC, the world’s fastest-growing digital asset exchange and a pioneer of true zero-fee trading, has today announced a collaboration with LSEG Risk Intelligence.This partnership enables the integration of World-Check, equipping the platform with the same risk intelligence database used by financial institutions globally, setting a new benchmark for proactive security in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Deploying an Institutional Grade Risk Architecture

As institutional and retail adoption of digital assets accelerates, uncompromising security measures have become a critical operational imperative. By adopting LSEG World-Check, MEXC is fusing the rigorous compliance frameworks of traditional finance with the agility of the digital economy. This strategic upgrade sets a new benchmark for the industry, ensuring the platform’s overarching security infrastructure meets regulatory standards.

Precision Screening and Preemptive Ecosystem Defence

World-Check is globally recognised as the authoritative and trusted source for risk intelligence. To execute its high-level security strategy, MEXC is embedding this premier data directly into its internal workflows. This integration facilitates real-time screening and cross-referencing against global regulatory and sanctions watchlists. Crucially, the system identifies Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and continuously tracks adverse media to swiftly intercept illicit actors. This dual capability fundamentally reinforces the exchange’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) protocols.

Securing the Future of Digital Asset Trading

Shifting away from reactive regulatory measures, MEXC is engineering a preventative approach to platform security. The integration helps the exchange filter out high-risk actors during initial onboarding and continues monitoring existing accounts, keeping the trading environment clean.

Vugar Usi, Chief Executive Officer of MEXC, said: “At MEXC, protecting our users and partners is non-negotiable. By integrating LSEG’s World-Check risk intelligence platform into our digital asset infrastructure, we are setting a new standard for compliance and transparency in the industry. This partnership reflects our steadfast commitment to building a trading environment that not only meets today’s regulatory expectations but anticipates tomorrow’s. We are dedicated to creating an ecosystem where legitimate participants can engage with confidence, and our collaboration with LSEG ensures we have the screening capabilities to deliver on that promise. “

Michael Meadon, Director, Asia Pacific at LSEG Risk Intelligence, said: “As digital assets continue to mature, market participants are rightly expecting the same level of rigour they see across traditional finance. By integrating World-Check into its compliance workflows, MEXC is strengthening its ability to identify high-risk actors, enhance screening at onboarding and through ongoing monitoring, and support a safer trading environment for users globally.”

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets.
