Johannesburg: Google will pay more than $40 million to support South African news media, many of them floundering in a digital age, the country’s competition authority said Thursday.
Tech giants, including TikTok, X and Facebook, have come under fire for anti-trust practices that the watchdog says hurt local media by limiting their ability to distribute and profit from their digital content.
