With the dust settling on the news media bargaining code battle royale, both Facebook and the Australian government have declared victory.
Key points:
Regional media companies lose out under the deal
Google, Facebook, government and big media businesses are winners
The legislation passed the Senate on Tuesday night, meaning the government can now make Facebook and Google negotiate with news producers to pay for content that appears on search engines or social media.
Aussies woke up this morning to find they’d been banned from viewing and sharing Australian or international news content on Facebook.
Turns out the tech giant’s made good on a threat to stop us from seeing news on the platform, in protest against a new law that would force it to pay Australian news outlets for sharing their content.

The move also stops overseas users from viewing and sharing Australian content and bans Australian publishers (like us!) from posting content on Facebook.
Australians woke to empty Facebook news feeds on Thursday, after the social media giant blocked all media content in a surprise escalation of a dispute with the government, which could be a test for the future of online publishing worldwide.
The move was swiftly criticised by news producers, politicians and human rights advocates, particularly as it became clear that official health pages, emergency safety warnings and welfare networks had all been scrubbed from the site along with news.
“Facebook’s actions to unfriend Australia today, cutting off essential information services on health and emergency services, were as arrogant as they were disappointing,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison wrote on his own Facebook page, using the vernacular for cutting ties with another person on the site.
