  • Facebook blocks news sites, charities, government pages in Australia

    The legislation aims to ensure a local and independent media industry, hopefully useful in a democracy.

    While Facebook is not a publisher as such, it's track record in data dissemination and accuracy (in elections) is well known.

    The de facto issue at play here is who controls who, does the elected government make the rules or does the multinational monopolist make and police it's own rules as it goes? I think, that it's in that area, where Facebook is really concerned. It doesn't mater what side of politics your personal delusion might pander to, they are all vulnerable to these Multi's in the long term.

    Will Zuckerberg win where President Xi failed? We'll soon know.
