New Australian regulation will have negative consequences for the YouTube Community: what you need to know

Dear Australian creators and artists,

Firstly, thank you for everything you do to inform, entertain and inspire your audiences here and around the world. My primary focus is supporting you and your work to build a thriving creator ecosystem.

I’m writing today to make you aware of a proposed new law, known as the News Media Bargaining Code, that could have a significant, negative impact on the creator ecosystem in Australia.

There are several areas that deeply concern us about this proposed law because it prioritises the traditional news industry over smaller creators of content and the platforms where they find an audience. We are particularly concerned that it provides unfair advantages to large news businesses over anyone else online, including the very creators that make YouTube, YouTube:
  • YouTube may be obligated to give large news publishers confidential information about our systems that they could use to try to appear higher in rankings on YouTube, disadvantaging all other creators. This would mean you could receive fewer views and earn less.
  • It will create an uneven playing field when it comes to who makes money on YouTube. Through the YouTube Partner Programme, we already share revenues with partners who monetise on YouTube, including news publishers—and we are proud to support quality journalism. But through this law, big news businesses can demand large amounts of money above and beyond what they earn on the platform, leaving fewer funds to invest in you, our creators, and the programmes to help you develop your audience in Australia and around the globe.
  • Under this law, big news businesses can seek access to data about viewers’ use of our products. YouTube believes user data protection is paramount and we should not be required to hand this data over.
The imbalances created by this proposed law could potentially affect all types of Australian creators, far beyond those who focus on news: from vloggers, to educational creators, to music artists and beyond. We are doing everything we can to push for changes and make sure YouTube in Australia remains a place where anyone can connect to an audience or build a business, not just a few large media companies.

In the coming days, you’ll hear more from us about how you can get involved. But for now, I’d ask you to read the open letter to Australians from Mel Silva, Managing Director, on behalf of Google Australia.

Thanks again for everything you do.

How not-for-profits can use Google Trends to better help Australians in need

This is a guest blog post from David Spriggs, CEO of Infoxchange. Infoxchange is a not-for-profit social enterprise that has been delivering technology for social justice for over 30 years. They tackle the biggest social challenges through the smart and creative use of technology. 



At Infoxchange, we’re constantly using data throughout our organisation to help tell our stories, inform our decision-making, and support our pitches for funding. One tool that’s been helpful for us is Google Trends. 

With over 3.5 billion searches on Google globally each day, if there’s a particular issue or topic on people's minds, it’s going to show up in Google Trends and oftentimes, can be used as a barometer for what Australians are thinking and feeling. That’s some pretty powerful information for a not-for-profit organisation to have! By knowing more about the issues and needs people in the community have, we can better tailor our support, tweak our messaging for the greatest impact, and make strong cases for funding and grant applications. 

Here are some examples of how we’ve used Google Trends at Infoxchange to help us continue to make an impact. 


Designing Ask Izzy to connect with the public 


Ask Izzy is a website that connects people with over 370,000 support services. When we were designing Ask Izzy, which was developed in partnership with Google, we looked at Google Trends data to help us understand the terms and phrases people used most around the issue of homelessness.

 

Ask Izzy is a website that connects people in need with support services nearby including food, financial help and housing. 


Although we’d conducted extensive face-to-face co-design with people with lived experience of homelessness and who worked in the sector, we used Google Trends to match the wording we used on our site with what people across Australia were searching, to make our site resonate with the largest number of people possible. 


Demonstrating the needs of the community to potential funders



More recently, we used Google Trends data on family and domestic violence support to show potential funders the increased need for the work we do. Sadly but somewhat unsurprisingly, data from Google told us that there had been a spike in searches for “domestic violence help” around the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We used this information to help show potential funders that more people than ever would be needing to find help through Ask Izzy over the coming months (perhaps even years), as the social and economic fallout of the crisis was clearly already revealed through people’s Google searches.

Matching our own data with public trends to help tell our story 


As the COVID-19 crisis began, we began to see huge increases in certain types of searches on Ask Izzy, as restrictions were introduced and businesses were forced to close. For example, during March the number of people using Ask Izzy’s Centrelink category to find locations near them nearly quadrupled in one week after the Australian Government announced its JobSeeker package. 

It was helpful then for us to see that Google Trends also reflected what our own Ask Izzy data was telling us; namely that there were many people across Australia who were seeking support when it came to welfare payments. 

For example, we can see below that there was a similar spike of people searching the term “Centrelink” on Google at the same time that we saw spikes in Ask Izzy. This helped us give context to our own data, and helped us understand why we’d seen such huge increases in the usage of our product. As a result, we were able to better plan for the months ahead and make sure that we continued to meet our users’ needs.

There are of course many, many other applications for using Google Trends data, but these examples show how Infoxchange has used the tool to help us respond to the needs of the community as best we can. 

Kiwi students learn Computer Science without a computer, with CS Unplugged

When the world went into lockdown in March this year, teachers had to rapidly transition to remote learning. Sarah Ridgway was one of those teachers. Sarah is a Kiwi and has been a teacher for 14 years, working in education in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom. She is now back home teaching in a flexible space and utilises CS Unplugged materials to teach her Year 6-8 students Digital Technologies at her semi-rural school in Selwyn, Canterbury. As the school moved to distance learning, Sarah was aware that not all learners had access to a laptop or smartphone and some families may not have reliable internet access whilst attempting to learn from home. “I wanted the digital technology experiences to be accessible for everyone and thought the CS Unplugged resource gave me some really good lessons to start with.” Sarah said.  


CS Unplugged is a set of fun, free resources that teach computer science concepts without a computer. Globally recognised as a great introduction to coding, and revolutionary in teaching computer science without a computer, Google has been a long time supporter of the programme. 

Credit: csunplugged.org. Caption: In this activity each of these cards represents one bit (binary digit). All data on computers is stored using bits, and if one of them changes accidentally because of something like interference on a network or small failures on a disk drive, the computer needs to detect that this has happened, and ideally put it right again. In this trick, flipping a card simulates a bit being changed, which causes an error in the data.


Although learning opportunities during lockdown were optional at her school, Sarah found that many students chose to complete the tasks and enjoyed getting their siblings and parents involved too. “I was able to modify activities so only everyday household items were needed. Many activities were things they could learn and then teach others in their bubble. Photos and videos of successful attempts at the tasks were regularly shared with our community with comments from parents about how much they had enjoyed the activity.”


Caption: Sarah records herself doing the “Mind-reading magic” activity so that it can be shared with her students for them to attempt at home.


Being part of the pilot programme for CS Unplugged meant that Sarah had used CS Unplugged materials prior to COVID-19 impacting education, and had attended a number of professional development courses in the school holidays to upskill and build her knowledge in Computer Science. Sarah noted, “When I did the workshops I realised how much fun computer science is and how it's not just about programming and data. There is so much to it and it can be explained to children through really fun and integrated learning opportunities.”  


Tim Bell and his team who develop the CS Unplugged resources, at the University of Canterbury, instantly saw the need for remote learning resources that could be used by anyone, anywhere. They worked quickly to produce materials that adapted the classroom version of CS Unplugged to allow parents and caregivers to be involved in their children’s learning in the home environment. There are currently five new Unplugged At Home resources available with more to come. As a long time supporter of the programme, Google wants to ensure students and teachers everywhere should have the resources they need to succeed in a digital future.
