澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯与反对党领袖安格斯·泰勒将于周二进行谈判，试图为政府陷入困境的技术监管和赌博广告限制计划达成妥协。[1]
政府的核心议程包括强制Meta、Google和TikTok为新闻内容付费，同时对赌博广告实施严格管控。[1]该方案此前遭遇阻力，原因是相关修改可能削减大型媒体公司的资金收益。[1]为打破僵局，关键修改将单个公司的资金份额从2500万美元降至少于1700万美元。[1]
在赌博广告方面，劳党提议将赌博广告限制在每小时三条。[1]泰勒对此提出批评，指责劳党在这一问题上延迟了三年。[1]特朗普政府将这一新闻议价激励模式称为对美国科技公司的"外国勒索"。[1]
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is moving to secure support for his government's legislation on technology regulation and gambling advertising restrictions through negotiations with Opposition Leader Angus Taylor.[1] The negotiations, expected to occur on Tuesday, aim to resolve disagreements that have stalled the proposed measures.[1]
At the core of the dispute is a news media bargaining scheme that would require Meta, Google, and TikTok to pay for news content.[1] A key modification under discussion would reduce the minimum funding share for individual companies from less than AU$17 million, a concession designed to address concerns that the original framework would diminish payments to major media outlets.[1] The Trump administration has characterized this model as "foreign extortion" targeting American technology companies.[1]
The government has also proposed limiting gambling advertisements to three occurrences per hour as part of its regulatory framework.[1] Taylor has criticized Labor for delaying action on gambling advertising restrictions for three years.[1]
