Meta may re-ban news links in Australia due to media bargaining code, following Canada's negative experience.
Meta suggested it may ban links to news on Facebook and Instagram in Australia, repeating its February 2021 ban due to Australia's News Media Bargaining Code. Canada's experience with a similar law has shown negative results for news outlets, with no revenue flows from Meta and reduced user traffic to their websites. If enacted, an Australian news ban could lead to similar outcomes.
