“#Google threatens to shut off search engine in Australia<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Google on Friday threatened to shut off its search engine in Australia if officials there app<\/a>rove a law requiring it to pay news<\/a> publishers for their content.<\/p>\n

The Silicon Valley titan escalated its aggressive fight against the proposal, saying the measure would \u201cbreak the way Google works\u201d because the company would have to pay to show links to news articles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis code creates an unreasonable and unmanageable financial and operational risk to our business,\u201d Google Australia managing director Mel Silva said in an open letter<\/a>, echoing comments she made before an Australian senate committee<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf the code were to become law in its current form, we would have no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The controversial proposal would allow news companies to negotiate payments from Google and Facebook<\/a> for the use of their content that appears in search results or news feeds. An arbitrator would decide the price if the parties are unable to reach a deal.<\/p>\n

Google had previously said the measure would put its free services \u2014 including its search engine and YouTube \u2014 \u201cat risk\u201d in Australia if it became law. Google now says that YouTube would not be affected by the proposal in its current form.<\/p>\n

Aussie Prime Minister Scott Morrison fired back at Google\u2019s threat to block search access, saying the country makes rules for \u201cthings you can do in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who want to work with that in Australia, you\u2019re very welcome. But we don\u2019t respond to threats,\u201d Morrison said.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s offensive came after US trade representatives Daniel Bahar and Karl Ehlers asked Australia to ditch the proposed law, saying it would be \u201cto the clear detriment of two US firms.\u201d<\/p>\n

The proposal has broad political support down under and is backed by publishers such as News Corp., which owns The Post and publishes eight of Australia\u2019s top 10 newspapers.<\/p>\n
