The social media giant is blocking Australians from accessing news content in their Facebook feeds due to a standoff with the federal government over proposed laws forcing big tech companies to pay for news content.
Australians are now unable to share or see news from Australian organisations - including NITV News, public broadcasters, regional and remote Indigenous news outlets, and some essential community organisations.
