Australia isn’t the only country taking on Meta over fair funding for news as Canada is also fighting to hold the tech giant responsible for the content on its platform.
The dispute escalated after Meta banned news from Facebook despite the dangers it posed to Canadians during the recent record wildfire season.
The Meta news ban came into effect just as the evacuation order was implemented.
Many people don’t know what news they are missing out on as their feeds populate with other information.
It’s a problem that’s growing increasingly as the Albanese government prepares for the possibility that Meta will extend their news blackout into Australia rather than pay publishers for their content.
