Australia's backwater? The United States finally caused public anger!
Australia, as an ally of the United States, can also be said to be a "follower". It has been following the United States all the time. What the United States does, Australia will do. The role of "follower" can be described as incisively and vividly. They are also willing to be the younger brother of the United States, because the United States is a world power, and Australia has the United States as the eldest. Under their protection, there is a big tree to enjoy the cool. It is not bad to be a little brother.
But recently, Australia also wants to reverse the trend. Australia has started to collect wool in American enterprises. Recently, it is reported that Australia requires Facebook and Google to pay for the free reprint of news content by Australian media. Australia's move has surprised many countries. For a long time, Australia has been listening to the United States. This time, it has been against the United States and caught the United States off guard.
Australia is the first country in the world to require software such as Facebook to pay for news media content. It must be admitted that the wool collecting incident is indeed a good thing in Australia. On this point, Australia explained that it wanted to ensure the independence of the news. If the US technology companies default, they would face a 10 million Australian dollar penalty.
Although this fine is a small matter for the United States, it has a great impact on their domestic enterprises. Because Australia requires these enterprises' platforms to sort the content of dynamic messages, obtain user information, search results and other issues, they should report to the Australian official. This will involve the interests of many large technology companies.
Australia and Australia have been caught off guard by this wave of anti water card, which shows that relations between countries seem to be very good on the surface, but when it comes to the issue of interests, they only consider their own interests. In front of interests, the established alliance relationship is simply vulnerable.
