The law named ‘Online News Act’ was passed in the upper house of the Senate on Thursday. Just awaiting royal approval. Earlier, Australia passed a similar law in 2021.

The country took the initiative to enact this law following complaints from the Canadian media. Media outlets claim that social networking sites using their content are doing business, while creating news that they cannot profit in any way.
