I don't go to Facebook for anything. Simplifies life greatly.

Ban Meta and facebook in Australia. Nobody needs either. After a month, nobody would even care.

If Mera are not going to link to news, what justification is there for them to pay? Meta are not a charity with a mission to support Australian news outlets. The deeper problem is how quality reporting can be self-financing. TV news is still popular, and many news channels seem to be viable. The legacy print media probably has to reform or die.

Facebook stopped offering news in Canada months ago, and it's made Canada a better country. I'm sure this will bother some Australians, but in reality, Australia just got a bit better overall.
People who are stupid enough to only get their news from Facebook are morons. Now they have a little less opportunity to be morons. That's a good thing. Those who still want news, can go get it.
