The Indian Newspaper Society (INS) has asked Google India to ensure that the country’s news publishers are paid 85% of the advertising revenue for their content.

Google claimed that news publishers keep over 95% of the digital advertising revenue they generate when they use Google’s Ad Manager to show ads on their websites.  In 2018, Google and Facebook held a combined market share of 68% across the online advertising space in India.
