Darryl Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 What’s the difference between Google and Facebook?One difference is that last week Google agreed to pay Australian news outlets for their content in the face of a threat of government action to force it to.Facebook did not, temporarily removing Australian news sources from its feeds, a decision it only reversed after winning a range of concessions.Another is the reason why.It’s that Google faces competition, whereas Facebook really doesn’t. https://theconversation.com/one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others-why-facebook-is-beyond-our-control-155748 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbean Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I would also add, Facebook's stated mission is: to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.Whereas Google's stated mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Removing news from Facebook doesn't impact their mission that much at all. My two cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seayork2002 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 This I think, but I do wonder if the world is watching carefully because of what can happen to them? as in each country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Pie Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 this news ban has affected authors, as in fictional writers as they considered "publishers" even though they have nothing to do with the news in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
