Google agrees $36 million fine for anti-competitive deals with Australia telcos
Google agreed on Monday to pay a A$55 million ($35.8 million) fine in Australia after the consumer watchdog found it had hurt competition by paying the country's two largest telcos to pre-install its search application on Android phones, excluding rival search engines. The fine extends a bumpy period for the Alphabet-owned internet giant in Australia, where last week a court mostly ruled against it in a lawsuit brought by Fortnite maker Epic Games accusing Google and Apple of preventing rival application stores in their operating systems. Google's YouTube was also last month added to an Australian ban on social media platforms admitting users aged under 16, reversing an earlier decision to exempt the video-sharing site. On anti-competitive tie-ups with Australian telcos, the country's consumer watchdog on Monday said Google struck deals with Telstra and Optus , under which the tech giant shared with them advertising revenue generated from Google Search on Android devices between late 2019 and early 2021. Google admitted the arrangement had a substantial impact on competition from rival search engines, and has stopped signing similar deals while also agreeing to the fine, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ( ACCC ) added. "Today's outcome ... created the potential for millions of Australians to have greater search choice in the future, and for competing search providers to gain meaningful exposure to Australian consumers," ACCC Chair Gina-Cass Gottlieb said. Google and the ACCC have jointly submitted to the Federal Court that Google should pay the A$55 million fine. The court must still decide if the penalty is appropriate, the ACCC said, but the cooperation between the regulator and Google has helped avoid lengthy litigation. A Google spokesperson said the company was pleased to resolve the ACCC's concerns which involved "provisions that haven't been in our commercial agreements for some time". "We are committed to providing Android device makers more flexibility to pre-load browsers and search apps, while preserving the offerings and features that help them innovate, compete with Apple, and keep costs low," the spokesperson added. Google owns Android. A Telstra spokesperson referred Reuters to an earlier statement saying it and Optus, owned by Singapore Telecommunications, had fully cooperated with the ACCC and promised not to sign agreements with Google to pre-install its search product since 2024.

Personalisation weighs in In addition to scheduling calls, users can also react in multiple ways to express themselves on group calls, such as the 'raise hand' option. The development comes after the Meta-backed messaging platform unveiled 'Message Summaries' in late June, integrating MetaAI capabilities to generate private summaries for chats so that users get an idea of what is happening before reading the details in the unread messages. As per the report by AFP, the Mark Zuckerberg-owned company is also planning to roll out three new monetisation features exclusively within its Updates tab, i.e., paid channel subscriptions, promoted channels in its Discovery directory, and ads within Status.

TikTok unveils updated community guidelines; to come into force from September 13
ANI TikTok has announced revised community guidelines on its platform, which include stricter rules for commercial content and new measures around artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content.

Now, search results and recommendations will differ per user based on past searches and video interactions on the the comment section will have a unique interface for every user based on past replies, likes, and prior company noted that personalisation is designed to keep content 'entertaining and informative' while filtering out queries linked to harassment or graphic themes. AI-generated content In a move aimed at addressing AI-led deepfakes, TikTok has asked for clear labelling of media content and restrains content 'that's misleading about matters of public importance or harmful to individuals.'The policy on AI-generated content (AIGC) has been rewritten in simpler language, while references to AI endorsements present in prior versions have been removed.
