Critics of Facebook say the company s ban on news appearing on its platform in Australia has made it more difficult for people to access reliable sources - and increased the influence of bad and misleading information.
Unintended consequences
It quickly became clear that one effect of the tech giant s move was that in addition to news providers, emergency services were also being blocked.
Some Australian government health-department and emergency-services pages found that their Facebook accounts had been affected.
They were later restored after Facebook was notified.

After working with the team at Facebook, DFES page visibility has been restored and we are able to continue providing the WA community with vital emergency information. #Phewpic.twitter.com/2Qvp5c4xmM DFES (@dfes wa) February 18, 2021
