Facebook to restore news in Australia after last-minute deal with government
What is news?<p>Does facebook publish news? I am on facebook for 13 years and I can not remember seeing any news on facebook. Ok, there are people sharing links to news articles (and facebook makes a preview containing title, image, and maybe parts of the lead). There might be people copy-pasting the text of a whole article into facebook, but that is definitely not the default situation. Overall, in order to receive news, I am forced to leave facebook (also applies to google)<p>I just dont get it. In my opinion the news creators should be grateful to facebook (or google etc.), bringing them interested visitors, potential customers.
Shouldn&#x27;t facebook rather be paid for that instead of convicted?<p>The same applies to google, a search engine. 
Why would a news creator NOT desire to be found in the internet in order to attract visitors?
The news creators I know, they are  that keen on gaining attraction: they even give the full content of pay-walled articles to google (and therefore to everybody) in order to be found.<p>If they dont want to be found and listed, there are ways to do so.
