Facebook's news ban went live in a matter of hours. Why is it taking so long to reverse it?

"It's more convenient for them to show they've achieved some deals and to have something more to communicate — because until they [reinstate news], they still have the bargaining power to keep negotiating."

She said Facebook's "drastic" actions achieved their desired intent by accelerating negotiations with government. "The digital lords can choose who are the publishers to negotiate with, they can now have all these months to negotiate."So in a way, they won all battles. And the public didn't really win, because media diversity could have been addressed."

They must've been preparing for days before banning. Same is needed to reverse it.

Because they can.

Considering the howls of outrage when emergency service sites etc went down too I think it's hypocritical to insist FB just click a switch again.

ABCscience With respect I complained about the disgraceful reporting by Jane Norman using your official process and was informed by email that I MAY get a response in a fortnight if my complaint was deemed worthy of a response Why so long?

Ask frydenberg and Morrison

Don't bring the news back. Facebook was good without it

What evidence is there that the ban took 'a matter of hours'? Facebook may have spent days or even weeks working on it prior to it going live. I'm not seeing this as being factual or objective reporting.

Because they don’t want to?

Good question - is there a good answer?

Because it’s a power play

Reinforcing the lesson . Can and will be done in future if required

Cancelling someone happens so quickly, yet appealing cancellation can take ages (or not happen at all)

Actually enjoyed the respite from some doom and gloom plus everyone’s bias opinion

Who cares. Have deleted my Facebook account. Getting my news headlines through Twitter now

sophiemeixner We are all collateral damage of the ScottMorrisonMP government wanting to secure a new income source for the Murdoch media. It seems that all Facebook posts with links to a server based in Australia are blocked

Why would anyone turn to fb for news?

seems users have to go back to the media pages and re-like...

they are adding to it - found two this morning that werent on the original list Noosa templ of statan has gone as a news site as did the austrlaia borealis information page

I’ve just left a message with Zuckieboy. I’ll let you know when he rings me back with an answer.

Pretty similar to Bank rates - when they go up the Banks have the ability to raise them overnight but take 2-3 weeks to adjust when they go down ......

Why does a cat toy with a mouse?

Why almost no-one is happy with the Facebook oversight board's ruling on TrumpRepublicans are outraged. Democrats are unsatisfied.
