CANBERRA: Facebook is back at the negotiating table, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Saturday after the tech giant this week blocked news on its site in the country.
Facebook’s abrupt decision to stop Australians from sharing news on the site and strip the pages of domestic and foreign news outlets also erased several state government and emergency department accounts by mistake, causing widespread anger.
The company has “tentatively friended us again”, Morrison told a news conference in Sydney. “What I’m pleased about it that Facebook is back at the table again.”
Facebook blocked all Australian news content on its service over proposed legislation requiring it and Google to pay fees to Australian publishers for news links.
