Google's fight with Australia and what it means to Canada
from This Matters · host Toronto Star
As governments look for new ways to regulate big technology companies and social media networks, Google and Australia are locked in a dispute that has other nations and industries watching closely. Australia is working on a plan to have online companies compensate publishers whose content they link to. Google says they are in an untenable position and warned the plan may cause them to pull their search engine from the country. Toronto Star reporter Kieran Leavitt has been covering this story and joins "This Matters" to explain what is happening and how it could affect plans in Canada.
