澳大利亚总理阿尔巴尼斯撤回了对新闻议价激励计划的最后修改，与反对党领袖泰勒达成协议。[1]根据新协议，媒体单个机构从科技公司支付费用中获得的比例从17%恢复至25%。[1]这项计划针对科技公司的本地广告收入征收2.5%的费用，旨在向澳大利亚媒体公司提供最多2.5亿澳元的补偿。[1]
该计划要求每家科技公司进行的交易数量从6份增加至8份。[1]澳大利亚联社将获得科技公司支付总额的5%。[1]立法预计将于周四提交议会，并有望在下周在参议院通过。[1]去年，Meta曾威胁宁可封禁新闻文章也不支付费用，而Google已表示积极谈判。[1]
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has withdrawn a last-minute modification to the news media bargaining scheme, reaching an agreement with Opposition Leader Angus Taylor that restores the original distribution ratio for media companies [1]. Under the revised arrangement, individual media outlets will receive 25 percent of fees paid by technology companies, up from the 17 percent proposed in the recent amendment [1].
The news bargaining incentive scheme requires technology giants to pay media enterprises for news content distributed on social media platforms, with fees calculated at 2.5 percent of their local advertising revenue [1]. The scheme is designed to deliver up to AU$250 million in compensation to Australia's news industry [1]. The Australian Associated Press will capture 5 percent of technology company payments [1], while each tech company will be required to enter into eight deals, an increase from the initially proposed six [1].
Legislation for the scheme will be introduced to parliament on Thursday, with passage through the Senate expected the following week [1]. Meta had previously threatened to block news articles rather than comply with payment requirements, while Google indicated willingness to negotiate [1].
