Facebook has threatened to ban Australian users and publishers from sharing news stories in a bid to avoid paying for news under the draft news media bargaining code. Responding via a blog post, Facebook accused the federal government of "misunderstanding the dynamics of the internet".
The government announced they were seeking to make giant tech companies like Google and Facebook compensate Australian media companies for content published on the platforms. Facebook warned if the draft code became law, they would "reluctantly stop allowing publishers and people in Australia from sharing local and international news" on both Facebook and Instagram.

Facebook threatens to ban Australians from sharing newsAustralians could be blocked from sharing news content on Facebook and Instagram, with news organisations not allowed to post their content to the platforms if a world-first attempt to govern news on social media becomes law. This could ONLY be a good thing. Would love to see where this is heading... What are your thoughts on the proposed News Media Bargaining Code? Australian threatens to ban Facebook from his phone.

Why Facebook is threatening to stop Australian users from sharing news contentFacebook is threatening to stop people in Australia from sharing local and international news if the social media giant is forced to pay news organisations. There's no such thing as news on Facebook. People in Australia still use Facebook? And here I was embarrassed I'm using Twitter. As bad as FB is, if they are standing up to Murdoch they have my blessing.

Australian journalist detained in China increasingly vocal about border closures prior to detainment | Sky News AustraliaSky News understands an Australian journalist detained in China while working for an English language news channel in Beijing, had become increasingly vocal about the country's border closures as she struggled to get her children into the country.\n\nCheng Lei was an anchor at Chinese state-owned broadcast channel CGTN where she worked for eight years.\n\nIn a statement, Foreign Minister Marise Payne said the Australian Government was 'informed that an Australian citizen, Ms Cheng Lei, has been detained in China”.\n\n“Formal notification was received on 14 August 2020 from Chinese authorities of her detention”.\n\nChina's government allows individuals to be detained by authorities for up to six months without legal aid, even before a formal charge is laid under 'residential surveillance at a designated location' powers.\n\nAustralian officials made contact with Ms Cheng via a video link on August 27.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n Is she actually Australian born, or was she born in China? If born in China, then the China government probably consider her one of their own? And yet the Left still implore us to be brothers in arms with the CCP, avoid offending them and appease their every request?
