Sydney, Australia, Feb 18 (EFE).- The Australian government questioned the "credibility" of Facebook as a news source on Thursday after the United States tech giant banned publishers and users in the country from sharing and viewing news.On Thursday morning, Australian and international news pages were unavailable in the country, and Australian news could not be viewed outside the country."Facebook needs to think very carefully about what this means for its reputation and standing," Communications Minister Paul Fletcher told public broadcaster ABC. "At a time when there are already questions about the credibility of information on Facebook, that is something that they will obviously need to think about."

Facebook temporarily paused its nationwide ban on political advertisements. This was to allow campaign messages about the Georgia senate runoffs. Facebook abruptly reversed course on Tuesday, according to Gizmodo. The news came via a blog post that the ban would resume following the election’s conclusion. Any ads about the Georgia runoff elections have been paused. Advertisers are not currently able to create new ads about social issues, elections, or politics.
