Facebook to lift a ban on Australian news pages after reaching a compromise| Oneindia News

Facebook said on Tuesday it will lift a ban on Australian news pages, after the government agreed to amend a world-first law requiring tech giants to pay media companies. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Facebook said a compromise had been reached on key aspects of the law, which was fiercely opposed by the tech companies. The social media firm sparked global outrage last week by blacking out news for its Australian users and blocking a series of non-news Facebook pages linked to everything from cancer charities to emergency response services.
