Proof, if proof were needed, that steps must be taken to reign in the power of the Tech giants. 

Organisations who had been impacted by the Facebook news ban include:

·         The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne

·         MS Australia

·         Kids Cancer Project

I don’t use Facebook very often but I’ve deleted the app and will never use it again. I would encourage everyone else to do the same.

    Be careful in deleting that you don't lose data you want,  or that sites you log in to using Facebook don't then lock you out. "Deactivation" might be a better option than "Deletion", because your data is kept.

    If you want to delete, there are also ways of transferring information like photos to other sites before you do so.

    I agree that Facebook's nuclear-option response is terrible. An alternative method of protest is to send a Spam Report to Facebook for every sponsored advert you see.

    Yes, they went about it in a very heavy handed manner and affected a lot of organisations that cannot afford to be unavailable - that was unforgivable! 

    However, I do find it interesting that those who lambast Facebook for refusing to pay for news, are probably the same people who want their news free on Facebook because they refuse to pay a subscription fee for the online news services.

    A disgrace is both Facebook and Twitters monetary backing and censorship manipulation to allow this dementia sufferer to be the so called Leader of the free world.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
