so let me get this straight
the Australian government is introducing new legislation that basically boils down to Google and Facebook having to compensate media companies for news content and while Google appears to be playing along
This apparently includes banning such content as from the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), Emergency Services pages, and government pages.
so let me get this straight
Rather than shill out a tiny fraction of their gross corrupt fortune, the company is spiting the Aus government by straight up banning news. That’s literal, overt, gross censorship. That kind of shit is dangerous. And what might piss me off more than anything, is that this is from the same goddamn social media giant that didn’t give a FUCK about american election misinformation spreading until they were forced to. The same fucking company that let Qanon conspiracists run rampant with their own groups until OCTOBER last year, is banning ALL NEWS from being shared amongst Australians, because they’re throwing a tantrum about having to pay for it.
fucking christ.
like I dunno Facebook, blocking any type of news or information media from spreading, that smells a little fascy to me
