Facebook news pages that got
swept up in the bans – Australian government communications, like messages about emergency services, as well as commercial pages were blocked. The Bureau of Meterology’ Facebook page, which provides essential weather updates for millions of Australians, was pulled, as well as crucial health communications pages from Queensland, South Australian and ACT governments.
Following an outcry, the company brokered an arrangement with the Australian government and swiftly reversed the block. At the time, a spokesperson claimed news makes up a tiny fraction of the content shared on Facebook and the tech company could afford to lose it.‘News makes up less than 4% of the content people see in their News Feed.’
Geriatric media platform. Pumps out endless Bitcoin adds, Funeral plans, and Dental search engines. It's so out of touch.
Good frankly. Its depressing as hell, will be nice to have a space without it
okay go for it meta, nobody uses Facebook anymore anyway
