Meta has been scaling back its promotion of news and politics content to drive traffic and says news links are now a fraction of users&#8217; feeds.<\/p>\n<p>Meta will discontinue a tab on Facebook which promotes news in Australia and the United States, it said in a statement, adding that it cancelled the news tab last year in the UK, France and Germany. As a result, &#8220;we will not enter into new commercial deals for traditional news content in these countries and will not offer new Facebook products specifically for news publishers&#8221;, the statement added.<\/p>\n<p>The decision pits Meta against the Australian government which under a 2021 law &#8211; opposed by Meta &#8211; has the power to appoint a mediator who determines how much big tech firms pay for news links. &#8220;Meta&#8217;s decision to no longer pay for news content in a number of jurisdictions represents a dereliction of its commitment to the sustainability of Australian news media,&#8221; Communications Minister Michelle Rowland and Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones said in a joint statement.<\/p>\n<p>The government was seeking advice on next steps from the treasury department and antitrust regulator the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, they added. The country&#8217;s biggest media outlets lambasted the decision, calling it an attack on the industry. &#8220;Meta is using its immense market power to refuse to negotiate, and the government is right to explore every option for how the Media Bargaining Code&#8217;s powers can be used,&#8221; said News Corp (NWSA.O), opens new tab Australasia Executive Chairman Michael Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/meta-says-will-no-longer-pay-traditional-news-content-australia-france-germany-2024-03-01\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/facebook-owner-meta-angers-australia-with-plan-to-stop-paying-for-news-content\/\">Facebook owner Meta angers Australia with plan to stop paying for news content<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,2071,522,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-126477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-meta","tag-news","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126477\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
