i don't understand. FB claims that this law will hurt australian news outlets more than FB... Why not just let these companies protest themselves?? We saw something similar in facebooks campaign against apples new privacy law. There, too, they pretended to be representing the "small business". I find it pathetic that they are using this same tactic of casting themselves as the protector of smaller, weaker, companies again. It's like a toddler covering his eyes with his hands and hoping that no one can see him.


FB is always going on justice crusades for those “unheard” voices; their exec team, board members, lobbyists, etc.
