Facebook on Friday restored access to news for its Australian users after reaching agreement with the government on a landmark law requiring it and other tech firms to pay for journalistic content.

The Facebook pages of Australian news outlets were able to update from early Friday morning for the first time in a week, since the social media slapped a ban on news content being seen Down Under in a dispute over the law which was adopted Thursday.

Facebook, which relies less on news in its business model, responded on February 18 by blocking access to Australian news for all its users. In announcing the end of its news blackout, Facebook said it “looks forward to continuing to work with the industry to find the best ways to support news.”
