After a five-day standoff with the ทดลองเล่นสล็อตฟรี Australian government, Facebook will soon send news back to its Down Under platform.In the face of an Australian bill that forced Facebook to pay publishers for news content appearing on its platform, the social networking giant last week made a big move, pulling all the news from its Down Under platform. After days of talks between Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Australian treasurer Josh Frydenberg, the social media giant announced an end to the conflict by bringing news back to the platform.Following further discussions with the Australian Government, we have reached an agreement that will allow us to support our chosen publishers, including local and retail broadcasters,” said Campbell Brown, Head of Global News Partnerships.
Facebook said in a statement. “We are recalling news on Facebook in Australia in the coming days.
Facebook will bring the news back to Australia, not from generosity. But it is because it said there had been enough concessions from the government.Frydenberg and Australian Communications Minister Paul Fletcher pledged Monday to make changes to the News Media Bargaining Code, a contentious bill that they are confident of. Whether to Facebook’s blockade means that since last Wednesday news has disappeared from the platform in Australia.

But when Google agreed to join the negotiations table, Facebook went the other way, blocking the news without warning.
It might not be the last time either. In his Monday statement, Brown noted that Facebook reserves the right to retrieve future news if the social media giant feels it is being treated unfairly.In the future, the government has clarified that we will maintain our ability to decide if news will appear on Facebook so that we will not be forced to negotiate automatically,” he said.The Australian Treasurer, noted in the partial revision statement that the government has agreed to comply with, the first News Media Bargaining Code states that the News Media Bargaining Code must consider the company “made a significant contribution” to the country’s news industry.
