Here’s a fun irony: when I posted my recent RenewEconomy article on Facebook, I had to use a sneaky trick to circumvent Facebook’s great big ban of Australian news. I shortened the link using a URL shortening service, and loaded the post with images to draw some engagement.
Unfortunately, Facebook noticed that one of the images was, in fact false information. That was because my post was debunking the fake meme, originating on Sky News Australia, and the image was automatically recognised by Facebook. But the ‘fact check’ posted by Facebook linked to an afp post that actually supported my article and effectively debunked the claim shared by Sky News, but it failed to mention the major media conglomerate from which it came. It’s done now: Facebook has reached a deal through which the government has essentially gutted its media bargaining code in exchange for Facebook returning news back to its platform.
