In a drastic move, Facebook has decided to stand up against the Australian government's media code called controversial by many outlets. Facebook's decision has annoyed that they are blocking publishers and people in Australia from sharing and viewing more content on its platform.

According to Facebook, the proposed media law does not understand how Facebook works, leaving the company no choice but to block news content in the country altogether. The new media law would make both Google and Facebook pay news publishers for their content. This publishing would be done by being on an agreement between Google or Facebook and the news publishers, and if both parties cannot agree, an arbiter would step in to determine the price.
