If these news outlets were to negotiate directly with Facebook or with Google or with a large digital platform, there would have to be a certain amount of work done already. I would imagine that the intention here for them to register with ACMA would require far less work than it would to negotiate directly with those digital platforms. This should make life easier for those news platforms, not more difficult.
