Facebook on Thursday banned the sharing of news from media companies in Australia, but also removed posts from the Bureau of Meteorology, state health departments, fire and rescue services, charities, and crisis services such as Suicide Prevention Australia, 1800Respect and Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence.
The company, which has 17 million users in Australia, responded to a barrage of complaints by conceding it had blundered and promising to restore âinadvertently impactedâ pages.
