Do I miss something? Facebook let share some news content. When the government wanted the Facebook to pay for it, Facebook switch this content from its service. So that it won't pay for it. Now people complain the Facebook did something wrong.
I don't get it. Why are people against Facebook in this case? That's the government who pushed Facebook to that move.
Disclaimer: I am usually against Facebook and think they are discussing in their behaviour in many cases, including there attacks on Apple regarding privacy features. But in this case I am frustrated with the politicians and people who want something from the Facebook and then blame it for their own actions.
Yeah, you missed how Google reacted.
Yeah - Google rolled over and made a "deal" with the largest news agency in Australia, who is behind this government action.
