Today's Highlighted Video Story: First, the Australian government proposed bringing in a law to make tech
giants pay for content from news organisations. Then Facebook and
Google fought back claiming it was unfair and "fundamentally
misunderstands" how social media platforms publish news.
But while Google backed down and signed a multi-year deal with News
Corp, Facebook last night blocked news reaching its Australian users.
Now Australia's prime minister has attacked the social media platform,
branding it "arrogant" and said his government won't be intimidated into
abandoning the law.
Focus of the Day Article: 'Too many lists and brochures' - law firms urged to reset relationship between lawyers and BD teams. Video Q&A hears call for leaders to recognise and accommodate the complexity of the sales process. Full story - The Global Legal Post
