Mandatory bargaining code does little benefit for Australians, says GlobalData

In response to the Australian Parliament’s Treasury Laws Amendment (News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code) Bill, which went into effect on 17 February 2021, Facebook has decided to pull all content and links from designated Australian news sources from its platforms. Against this backdrop, Australia is relatively a small market for big companies such as Facebook and Google, and the law does little benefit to Australians, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
Reportedly, Facebook pulled down community pages, news regarding Australian health matters, and others that might regarded as providing valuable information services for the community.
