Sky News: Reports " Facebook: Facebook exec Nicola Mendelsohn defends firm from 'school bully' accusations after it blocks Oz news media.....The social media giant has blocked users on its platform from viewing or sharing links to domestic and international news content. "
Lets Get Real:
The problem is that the Australian Government does not understand the nature of the World Wide Web, its about people connecting each other through the web and the stories they highlight on the web. The Oz Government is asking Facebook to pay for the links of others, why should they, if the Government wants to make money for the OLD NEWS, then it should charge the customers for making these links. Of course if they did that they would be politically speaking DEAD IN THE WATER, the readers or viewers, do not see why they should pay for linking stories from the old press in to the modern platforms like Facebook. Why should Facebook PAY when it is helping its customers, the Oz Government is showing that it is out of its DEPTH, one wonders if the Governor General acting on behalf of the Queen should sack the Government.
