Less misinformation!! Congratulations, Australia!
Less? This is going to lead to more, not less. Disinformation thrives when real news are banned.
What “news” do you see in Facebook?
All I see are promos, editorial or political rumors.
And so it begins - https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2021-02-18/facebook-news...
The important thing is that they've made it very difficult to reply to nonsense claims with links to authoritative news sources. They even wound up inadvertently banning some government websites.
Australia only has leverage if other countries in Oceania g8/13 etc join in to the demands.
Otherwise the Australian market is the size of a pimple on a mosquitos butt.
