Facebook has decided to lift its ban on news content for Australian users after coming to an agreement with the Australian government.
Last week, Facebook users in Australia opened up their apps to find that they were unable to view or share any news on the platform. The social network made the move in response to Australia’s proposed media bargaining law, which aims to provide a fairer internet for news publishers and force the likes of Facebook and Google to pay these publishers for displaying their news content.
The Code has been heavily opposed by both Facebook and Google, though the latter has already more-or-less accepted the government’s decision and launched its ‘News Showcase’ hub in Australia.
Australia amends Media Bargaining Law, says Facebook to restore news pages in coming days
