Yeah news companies wanted to be paid by Facebook for their articles circulating on there iirc. Facebook said nope, no news then. Banned all news from Australia even actual emergency news and university related stuff too. Then were like okay okay we'll allow those. In my opinion they could have reached some type of bargaining agreement with the news companies here, since people go to Facebook for news and Facebook generates traffic for news articles. Seems like a win-win to work something out
