Facebook appears to be diving into yet another battle over how news content is displayed on its platform. This time, however, their target is the United States Congress. Legislators are currently preparing to vote on a new piece of legislation called the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act. If passed, the bill would make it easier for news organizations to engage in collective bargaining with the social media platforms and require payment for their news being shared by users on Facebook and Twitter, among other outlets. Meta responded by threatening to block all news content from Facebook, saying that Congress should not impose government-mandated negotiations. This is not the first time that Facebook has found itself having this particular fight, and it likely won’t be the last. (NY Post)Read More
