Facebook has blocked Australian users from sharing or viewing news content on the platform, causing much alarm over public access to key information.
It comes in response to a proposed law which would make tech giants pay for news content on their platforms.
The Australian government has strongly criticised the move, saying it demonstrated the "immense market power of these digital social giants".
Facebook said news outlets voluntarily post their article links on the platform, which helped Australian publishers earn about AU$407 million in 2020 through referrals.
