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.
The hero of the Looney Left in all his glory.
