Facebook gags Aussies

[Petal]

boo hoo fb - I don't care that you are gagging us. Just another reason to not be on fb

The way millions of Australians use Facebook is OVER as the tech giant bans posting and sharing of all NEWS from the social media platform - after Google made deals with media

Facebook will no longer allow people in Australia to read or share news
The decision means Australians can't read or share any news on Facebook
The move is a response to the country's proposed Media Bargaining law
Comes after politicians threatened to force tech companies to pay for content

I dislike facebook, always have and always will..I never got involved in it and never will.

I don't participate in any of the social media stuff on a personal lvl.

The Australians should consider themselves lucky and run in the opposite direction of facebook!

Even if I had a facebook account*, it's the last place I would look for real news

*I did, at one point, have a facebook account to run the sites FB page from but didn't like the 'thought police' there so deleted the account...

Who......?

Remember fb homepage slogan used to have, "It's Free and Always Be" now says "It's Quick and Easy"
Zuckerberg responds with, "There will always be a free version"
You know what's free? Leaving fb behind and get contacts of friends onto phone to keep in touch.

Now if America would follow suit and include all social media, I'd be dancing in the streets.

I use it for facebook messenger and sharing corruption stories just to raise awareness. So sick of the state that the world is in. From politics, environment, racism and xenophobia... seems the bar keeps getting lower

Can't check the weather, get info on Covid or even natural disasters... and if you're suffering domestic violence, there's nowhere to seek help on Facebook: Cruel reality of social media platform's decision to ban news for ALL Aussies

Vital emergency services have been caught in crossfire of Facebook news ban
Official accounts for Queensland, SA and ACT Health pages stripped of content
Posts from the Bureau of Meteorology and helpline 1800Respect also removed
SA Health Minister slammed giant for blocking vital information in a pandemic
Facebook said ban on government pages accidental and posts will be restored

Australians can't read or share news on Facebook - but the social media site is still a platform for some of the world's worst dictators, scammers and extremists

About 13 million monthly users in Australia can no longer view world news
Thousands of fake news pages and content by dictators is still available
Life-saving information from official rescue helicopter pages are blocked
The move is a response to the country's proposed Media Bargaining law

Couldn’t agree on you with this one more Ice they’re one of the most sneaky bunch of controlling fuckers they got a finger in nearly every single pie! They either own or are the main pushing powers behind some of the most information gathering apps/ sights people use and most of them don’t have a clue that their shit is being tracked and sold Google is just as bad if you want a little look at how many different fuckers follow you just install DuckDuckGo and use that as your search engine instead of Google you would be amazed at how many follow your arse around good old duck duck go tells you exactly who and how many of the twats it is blocking on every search.?
