Statement on Facebook blocking science expertise
The nation’s peak bodies representing science and scientific expertise have expressed deep concern about Facebook blocking content today from a range of non-news science organisations.
On Thursday, Facebook blocked content from groups including Science & Technology Australia, the Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian Science Media Centre, the Australian Science Teachers Association, Professionals Australia, The Royal Institution of Australia, and Research Australia.
These organisations share valued and peer-reviewed science insights and Australia’s deep scientific knowledge.
The changes also affected state health departments including those in South Australia and Queensland and some emergency services feeds.
