Me: Let me go get out my tiniest violin.
(For context: Google has started putting little pop-ups on all their services, saying "The way Aussies use Google is at risk. Your search experience will be hurt by new regulation". Which is, as far as I can glean from skimming the local paper, is them complaining about a new regulation saying they have to pay the news companies to display news content. And the ACCC has apparently gone '...what? no, what you are complaining about won't happen', and, like, the ACCC isn't completely unbiased, but it's a fair sight less biased than Google, you know?)
(Also, if this new rule means youtube will stop recommending me 7News for no good reason: perfect.)
