"Facebooks wipes out news in Australia" - As an Australian I hadn't noticed. I don't use Facebook. Plenty of local and world news to read and watch everywhere.

Facebook is dying. It’s already just a bunch of out of touch (with reality) mom and dads.

Big Tech is becoming way too powerful, border-less entities.

[reachvrn]

Simple: the world was still operating without Facebook earlier. Think about it... un install facebook.. look what happens next

[dracovirals]

They can still access to main news sites.
NEVER ever relay on social medias! They will die out sooner like WhatsApp did.

This big tech companies are so arrogant.

The time to put people over profits is long overdue for every business and for humans in general. Let us find a new way.

It's a simple fix, get off Fakebook. There is Gab, Parler, Telegram and so on. What is everyone's obsession with Fakebook??? Once they sponsored President Trump, I left both Fakebook and Twitter. It's that simple🤷‍♀️

[theahaddon]

Look elsewhere for the news. Human are adaptable and we will find a new source of news.

As an Indian, one personal piece of advice for Aussies and the Government - BAN FACEBOOK!!!!

[mikedanil]

I'm waiting for ColdFusion TV's video on this issue. He is living in Australia and can explain better 😂😂😂😂

Facebook is also a tax cheat.

Facebook sold an estimated $2.2 billion in ads to Australian clients in 2019, but only reported $709.5 million of sales as ads booked through its Australian arm.

The goal of the legislation was to even the playing field with local companies that had to charge GST notably Netflix which competed with Stan, owned by Nine Entertainment, which publishes The Australian Financial Review.

The Zuckerbarg era is coming to an end soon

[udith]
