Australian and global news organisations had their content removed from Facebook pages in Australia over a new law that would make digital platforms pay for content.
Australia’s law forcing Google and Facebook to pay for news is ready to take effect, though the laws' architect said it will take time for the digital giants to strike media deals.
Facebook has said news articles will start to re-appear in Australian users' feeds in the coming days, after it reached a deal with the government on plans to make tech giants pay for journalism. The agreement sees four changes made to the propsed media code, including adding a period of mediation before a government arbitrator intervenes in a dispute between tech companies and publishers. Also today, shares in the Brazilian oil giant Petrobras have slumped after President Bolsonaro moved to replace its CEO.
On February 18, 2021, Facebook hit back at publishers and the government with a sudden decision to block news on its platform across the entire country.
There's been outrage from politicians and publishers, after Facebook decided to block news content for users in Australia. But will the standoff lead to more regulation? Also in the show - following a number of high-profile hacks, the French government has announced a major investment in cybersecurity.
