  1. Blame Australia's prime minister and Rupert Murdoch's media newspapers. Aussie government never heard of "laissez-faire". The Australian media are now crying foul because they're losing money every minute that they are not on Facebook. Australian publishers are mad that they are losing AU$407 million of free referral traffic that Facebook gives their businesses. Amazon pays its affiliates for referrals; the government should be glad that Facebook isn't charging a referral fee. This is literally Murdoch playing chess with people's jobs out of pure greed with a complicit government. Without Facebook referrals you're gonna see the Aussie media downsize dramatically and fast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VANr9Gdy8VQ Should Australian Media PAY Facebook and Google? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL_ZYUihNTM When governments interfere, they always f_#k things up. ... The government extorting businesses. The government started with Facebook and then it will go after other platforms so STOP the government now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iku7FxBhLss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53XG1vSDsHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyjczXVJL3E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEGW7KQPgP4 Isn’t it interesting how the bullies are now crying bully? Hmm.. "You must pay money to us or leave" ok we'll leave. News media had the option to not post content on facebooks platform. most people open their Facebook page at least 3-4 times a day, I don't know anyone who logs on to a government website even daily let alone 3-4 times a day so for immediate action info often Facebook is the best

  2. The Australian government and Murdoch should be the ones facing a backlash. Governments complain about monopoly but I dont see any other Governments I can use in my country, Its not like I can vote my neighbour in for PM either, I have a predefined selection presented to me by the rich... This is about control and nothing else. Governments are losing control in the modern world and its scaring them. Apparently Google has caved and reached an "agreement" to pay newscorp for its propaganda. I guess the LNP will get another three years... go fuck yourself you forgot about facebook, i know what you mean but don't lie lol, it'll be way higher a year, 5 years, 10 years from now. Half of Earth’s population uses Facebook apps, FB is the king like it or not. So funny how some people post here that they have deleted their profiles or sold their shares.... its like is gonna make any difference ?? the stock is an even better buy! P/E is just 25 among the winning faamg stocks Can i ask government to force 7news to pay me for my awesome comment here? Can't wait until the media gets banned off youtube as well. The media starts a war then blames the other side for the collateral? I hope the media fails. The point is pages like this were blocked by accident, and are already being brought back. And if the government try a stupid idea and it fails they should back down, not just ask other countries to join in. And Facebook haven't 'unfriended Australia' they have blocked news media. Essentially putting Facebook back to a social media and networking platform instead of something for news and politics. We will see who needs who I guess. - Since Facebook banned Australian news content Wednesday, traffic to Australia-based news sites within the country fell by around 13%, the data and analytics technology company Chartbeat found according to Axios. Traffic to the country’s news sites that came from outside Australia fell by about 30%. The drop in traffic is a testament to the power of Facebook to drive traffic for news outlets. Last year, the company said that about 5.1 million free referrals to Australian news sites came from Facebook – traffic that is worth an estimated $407 million, Axios reported None of this should have been a surprise. Back in September we wrote about Facebook publicly saying that if Australia went forward with its ridiculous attack on the open internet, and instituted a "news link tax" on Facebook and Google, that it would block news links on Facebook in Australia... and basically everyone ignored it. So, yesterday, when Facebook announced that it was no longer allowing news to be shared in Australia (and relatedly, no longer allowing the sharing of Australian news services on Facebook), it should not have been a surprise. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20210217/22383446265/bizarre-reaction-to-facebooks-decision-to-get-out-news-business-australia.shtml
