朱克伯格致电澳洲财长游说放弃要求科技公司向传媒付费
澳洲财长弗里登贝格(Josh Frydenberg)表示,Facebook(FB.US)行政总裁朱克伯格上周游说他与联邦通讯部长Paul Fletcher,放弃迫使科技巨擘向当地媒体就新闻内容支付费用,但政府未有改变任何立场。
弗里登贝格表示,政府正继续与谷歌及Facebook就拟议的立法进行讨论,目前法案正由国会审议当中,虽然谷歌及Facebook正在利用舆论来增加对政府的压力,但政府仍然坚持立法的必要性。
此前Facebook威胁如果通过立法,将禁止澳洲用户於社交平台分享新闻内容,而谷歌则会停止於当地的搜寻功能。弗里登贝格称,这些威胁是真实存在,但不会被它们吓倒。
