it’s like an EV driver being forced to buy a litre of petrol every week to keep the fossil fuel industry alive.

Force them to carry news and force them to pay for it? That's not gonna work.

Honestly, the Australian government stumbles between embarrassingly stupid mistakes whenever it talks about social media.

I thought #Meta was pulling out of news across the world. Given their appalling algorithms and what news makes it to who, I thought that it was a good thing. If people can’t get their news in FB then they have plenty of other options.
