Meta Criticizes Proposed News Funding Mandate
Meta has criticized the Australian federal government for a proposal that would require tech giants to pay for news content on their platforms. The company, which owns Facebook and Instagram, stated that news outlets post material voluntarily. Media companies argue Meta generates millions of dollars from content that is not shared with publishers. Communications Minister Annika Wells maintains that platforms must assist in funding news.
