IN the NEWS - IF Big Tech can Bully Nations.... What could they do for Rome?

IF BigTech can push around governments, besides banning Presidents---what could they do when they align with a Global Push for a Counterfeit Sabbath?

Will Big Tech become an ally/enabler of the Beast?...For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:3

"A huge controversy erupted last summer between major US social media platforms and the Australian government over a bill designed to better compensate and reward local news publishers, while

bringing greater transparency to the way algorithms employed by Google, Facebook, and YouTube work.

Months after failed attempts to come to an agreement with the government of Australia,Google  is now threatening the dramatic step of shutting down its search engine in the country altogether.

It stems from the initiative that seeks to ensure companies and content providers are compensated fairly for the value their content generates for Google and parent company Alphabet Inc.

On Friday at a Senate hearing on the matter Google Australia Managing Director Mel Silva told lawmakers, "If this version of the Code were to become law, it would give us no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia."

"We don’t respond to threats," Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison hit back in the wake of the threatened Google shutdown in the country.

"Let me be clear. Australia makes our rules for things you can do in Australia. That's done in our parliament. It's done by our government and that's how things work here in Australia and people who want to work with that in Australia, you're very welcome," he said." ZeroHedge
