Google unveils One Pass system for online content - GoFuckYourself.com

DVTimes · 02-16-2011, 01:21 PM

Google has launched a new payment system that allows users to subscribe to online content for a 10% commission fee.

The move comes after rival Apple was criticised over its payment system which takes 30% of the sale price.

One Pass will work on tablets and smartphones, as well as Google-related websites.

One Pass will launch initially in the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

The announcement came just one day after Apple announced new rules for publishers selling subscriptions on its iOS platform.

Apple says companies must now offer users the option to buy directly through an iTunes account, handing 30% of the price to Apple.

Previously, vendors were allowed to simply direct customers to an external website, keeping all of the profits.

On a Google blog posting, Lee Shirani, the company's director of business product management wrote: "Publishers can customise how and when they charge for content while experimenting with different models to see what works best for them."

If this includes porn, it's a game changer.

as much as im sure Google would want to, being such a large public company, they probably fear even getting near that will put a big drop in their stock

Yeah, but I would bet porn is excluded.

We'll see soon though.

I do not think it will be including Porn, bad for their stock indeed

Hentaikid · 02-16-2011, 01:43 PM

Of course it won't include porn. Porn is free now!

TCLGirls · 02-16-2011, 01:46 PM

I'm not so sure that porn will automatically be excluded simply because of their stock concern.

If they were really 100% anti-porn, they would just block all porn sites from their search results. But they don't do that. So maybe they will consider processing porn subscriptions.

what would happen if google would find out that certain people make huge porn income thanks to them?

NaughtyRob · 02-16-2011, 07:27 PM

It won't. You can't use Google checkout for porn so I am sure it won't.
