EU plan to copy Australia and make big tech companies such as Google and Facebook pay for news

The EU is looking into plans to make big tech companies such as Google and Facebook pay for news in a push similar to reforms in Australia.

MEPs are working on two draft European digital regulations that could be amended to include proposals akin to those in Australia, the Financial Times reported.

The plans could require big tech companies to pay for news content as well as inform publishers about changes to how they rank news stories on their sites.

I am very curious to see how all this ends.
