Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The best way to deal with these tech monsters is to 1. Regulate them, and 2. Tax their appalling profits globally, so this wealth is distributed. Our government's protect the traditional media approach is typical right wing thinking, while pandering to their industry support base, like Murdoch.

I'm all for re-distributing wealth, but . . .
Businesses don't pay taxes, their customers ultimately do. 
The whole reason this law was passed in Australia is because Murdoch (a "media monster" ) "paid" his politicians to pass it.
I've never heard of businesses asking to be paid to have customers sent to them.
