Big Tech Giants, Google and Facebook among others, to pay for content
We all owe a lot to Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and their ilk for making our lives much easier because the sheer dominance of social media has been a huge boost for common people to find answers to their questions.
However, the Indian government has decided that these big tech giants for now have to pay a sufficient amount to the news publishers for using their original content. The government has mulled over the matter for quite some time and come to the conclusion that now these bigshot companies will have to share the revenue.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for IT and Electronics, said that the central government is thinking about changing the IT laws as it is of the opinion that digital advertising has tremendous market pull that these tech giants want to use to their advantage and it won’t bode well for Indian media companies.
Countries like Japan, Australia, Canada, Spain and France have already adopted this process because they want to make sure that their original news publishers get due credit and monetary compensation for their hard work and India too wants to follow suit on the issue.
