The internet search giant Google is claiming it may need to stop providing the search feature in Aussie if they go ahead with legislation forcing companies to pay Australian media outlets for content.

Whilst some may see this as bad news, I personally think they should tell google they are more than welcome to go away.

There are other search engines such as Duck Duck go that can do searches.
