Publishers respond to Facebook’s ‘unreasonable behaviour’ removing news
Publishers including Nine, Guardian Australia, the ABC, and Junkee have responded to the announcement that, from today, Facebook will no longer carry news for local mastheads and users in retaliation to the News Media Bargaining Code.
A Nine spokesperson called it “unreasonable behaviour” which “nobody benefits from” and warned of misinformation spreading unchecked by news. However, the media company is still open to a deal with Facebook, just a day after it reportedly signed up to Google’s News Showcase program.
