Small business is the collateral damage in Facebook’s decision to ban news content
Idiello co-founder and brand director Mia Fileman was one of many locked out of their Facebook business pages. What future faces the online presence of small businesses?
Like millions of other Australians, I was shocked to discover posts from Australian publishers were no longer being shown on Facebook. Not only were news feeds completely missing breaking news updates, but publishers’ Facebook pages had been completely wiped clean of any posts, with just their bios remaining.
But I was even more shocked to discover my business Idiello, an Australian campaign marketing platform, was also blocked from Facebook, and I was unable to share posts with links to my own website.
