Facebook stopped watching and sharing news

Kathmandu. Facebook has banned news in Australia. Facebook has announced that it will bar Australian users from viewing and sharing news on its platform.

The announcement comes amid controversy over the proposed new law on social media. Some users have reported that content from certain news sites has been banned.

The proposed law would force large technology companies such as Google and Facebook to enter into agreements with Australian media outlets or pay a fee for sharing content. Earlier, Google threatened to shut down its search engine in Australia. –BBC
