News Corp’s Australian arm calls for Google to be broken up over ‘anti-competitive’ behaviour GlobeBusiness
In an 80-page submission largely centred on Google, News Corp Australia said the U.S. company had created an “ecosystem” where it could control the results of people’s internet searches and then charge advertisers based on how many people viewed their advertisements.Efforts to curtail Google’s market dominance around the world had failed because of the search engine operator’s record of “avoiding and undermining regulatory initiatives and ignoring private contractual arrangements.
Calling Google’s behaviour “anti-competitive,” News Corp accused the Mountain View, California-based internet company of damaging publishers’ ability to generate revenue and ultimately the sustainability of the news industry. A Google representative was not immediately available for comment. In its submission to the same inquiry into the Australian online advertising market, Google said it was a “mistaken premise” to suggest it had “market power in search, search advertising, and news media referrals.”The ACCC declined to comment specifically on News Corp’s submission but commission Chairman Rod Sims told the Australian Broadcasting Corp he was “looking at it with an open mind.
