I don’t think there was a winner? Aust Govt got the legislation past the big two techs with some tweaks. I don’t expect FB would be doing deals with the publishers without some pressure.

A huge win for Facebook and the Internet. Whatever they pay won’t be based on the content that the news media corporations voluntarily post or that people link to. In addition Facebook get to decide which media companies they support, which will include the small independents. Additionally Facebook can decide if news appears on Facebook so they are not forced into negotiations by the Australian Government. Whichever way you look at it a major backdown by the Australian Government and the ACCC. The law, not yet enacted, was one of the worst ever written and there have been a few glangers in my lifetime. No doubt the spin doctors will be out in force after the announcement.
Any deal struck will likely be with advertisers rather than content, which is the way it should have been in the first place.

Oh I see, you have reviewed the revised legislation then? Quoting the Facebook Vice President as the single gospel. You reckon a government totally backs down because Mark Zuckerberg pulls a stunt?
This topic is far more grey than you belligerently state.

In fact Facebook have just today done a deal with Seven West to pay for content, and re-entered negotiations with Nine. Funny, I thought you said it Facebook had won? Won what exactly?

I never said there wouldn’t be deals made, read my post. The huge win for Facebook is the deals won’t be based on posted content and hyperlinks that the news media corporations voluntarily make and control, instead it will be around advertising shown, which Facebook controls.
Just to be clear I don’t give a rats about Facebook, Google or the Murdoch Empire for that matter. You can regulate, break them up or tax them into oblivion, I don’t care.
What I care about is Internet freedom, and in this case not charging for the base components, hyperlinks, of the World Wide Web.
