Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has slammed Facebook for threatening to restrict individual users from posting news content to the platform because they don't want to pay for it.
It comes after Facebook threatened to remove all news stories from the Australian branch of its platform if the Morrison government passes through the proposed news media code.
The code seeks to force digital giants to pay media outlets for news content on their platforms or face fines of up to $10 million.
“So, Senator Gallacher’s wife who uses Facebook, would not be able to post an article about Senator Gallacher’s speech in the senate that The Australian picked up, she wouldn’t be able to send that to her friends on Facebook, that’s what you’re suggesting?” Ms Hanson-Young asked.
Vice President of Public Policy at Facebook Simon Milner responded in the affirmative and implied the drafted legislation would be the cause of the ban on Facebook users.
