Big tech giants Apple, Meta, Google, Amazon and Elon Musk’s X have lodged a formal complaint urging the Trump administration to target “coercive and discriminatory” Australian media laws
The members of the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) responded to a request by the Office of the United States Trade Representative for “comments to assist in reviewing and identifying unfair trade practices and initiating all necessary actions to investigate harm from non-reciprocal trade arrangements”.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is responsible for developing and coordinating U.S. international trade and direct investment policy, as well as overseeing negotiations with other countries.
In comments written to the trade chief on 11 March, the trade policy manager of the CCIA Amir Nasr highlighted Australia’s News Media Bargaining Incentive as one of the “key examples” of discriminatory taxation of digital products and services.
