Haha - You would actually be a classic bloke to get on the piss with.

Do you are to explain what that is supposed to mean?

The red under the bed from days gone bye. You seem to blame the left and alternative groups or lifestyles for everything that you think is wrong with the world, I just find it a little archaic and funny

Well maybe you should have another read on my topic on Home Break-ins including your own contribution and ask yourself what is wrong with the world today? Too soft, political correctness gone mad. I am a victim of this softly softly approach and political correctness. I didn't tell you about the juveniles that caused damage to the common property did I?

They were caught but I was told by the police officer "unfortunately they are of an age of NO REPOSNSIBILITY". I'm sure the adult who attempted to cause harm to me and my property the other night just after midnight has probably grown up being told you are not responsible and got away with it all and now it's just in his DNA. Well done the alternative universe leftie loonies.

Yep the world has changed and along with that change are some unfortunate changes to attitudes abt right wrong and behaviour but to continually lay the blame with the left is just silly. The governments of the day make changes in the light of what is prevailing thought of that day. I suppose that it is the lefts fault that the tolerance towards DV, sexual assaults etc and you would see that as eroding of the justice system. Oh well you are who you are and have you beliefs and values that make you the person you are, have a great day and lets hope no more of your values are eroded.

Basically Google News is an app that hoovers up stories for me according to my previous clicks and searches and it will provide me with a variety of diverse stories from many different news outlets.

There is NO Advertising on Google News until I click on a news story which takes me to that news platform where they will have advertising. Now I assume for example The West or News.com will benefit from the advertising on THEIR news site not Google, but Google will receive a fee for the click driving traffic to that news site which they are entitled to.

So I honestly don't see the argument. Maybe on Facebook it works different.

Goggle has adds as well, they have already made an agreement to pay news sources so they are all fine.

and FB make nearly 30 Billion USD a year from Adds, a big portion of FB hits are drawn to news sites, every hit is a marketing dollar for FB.

This is about a lot more than Australia, FB are chitting them selves that if Australia make them pay for news then rest of the world will as well, Australia wants a paltry 30 mill a year from a 1 Trillion dollar company - but of course its not about that its about FB not wanting to pay around the globe, Germany and the EU are already pushing for the same sort of laws, and in the US its looking like they might get broken up under Anti Competition Laws.

You never know Baz we might bump into each other one day, maybe the 2021 GF at OPTUS? OOPS, you want it at Freo. Haha

Facebook's actions dont surprise me. Two weeks ago I was made aware that the account one of my friends I have known for 40 years was hacked. The hacker was scamming people on the friends list trying to get money from them. I lodged a complaint with Facebook, along with half a dozen others, with links and screen shots. There has been no response from them whatsoever.
I also want to add that my friend has spina bifida and has been in a wheelchair most of his life. This has sent him into a depressed mood as Facebook was his one way of staying in touch with friends. Most of us have no given him our phone numbers so we dont lose contact with him.

I was listening to a bit of Liam Bartlet this morning and was tempted to ring up. Heard him say Facebook is benefitting from having advertising linked to news content it is using to attract viewers and mainstream media is missing out on advertising revenue because most people are using the likes of Facebook and Google, they don't need the mainstream media to advertise but one listener rand up and said you guys are choosing to share your stories on social media to get more attention to your news.

It's a double edged sword I reckon. I remember going to a free seminar at The Hyatt probably about 15 years ago. It was primarily to help people start an online business and they talked about how to drive traffic to your website. The most expensive way was bidding to be high up in a search engine bidding for keywords. It can get very expensive. I'm not even sure Google existed then or they were not as prominent, I think Yahoo was king back then.

They then went on to explain cheaper ways to drive traffic like creating a newsletter and entering into joint agreements with other websites where basically you agreed to provide links to each others websites.

So if Facebook and Google are allowing Seven News for example to put up a facebook page for free or share stories for free, then they are getting access to a free service that is driving thousands of viewers to their website. Im not sure if that's how it works but we don't pay for Facebook and we can even advertise now on Facebook Marketplace for free although probably like Gumtree they will eventually start charging and then gradually get more and more expensive.

From what I’ve seen, Facebook has and still does, cause more social and domestic problems than any other outlet around. Fuck it off, Oz wouldn’t be the first country to ban a social media outlet.

I sort of have to agree with you Shark. Yea, i call it SIT ON YOUR FACEBOOK. My CB radio was better.

Facebook -
the platform for gutless filth to hide behind devices in order to defame & abuse other people every day
Eradicate this good for nothing cowardly online garbage forever

Could say the same about Twitter, just need to see how that dangerous sociopath Trump used it to incite violence and encourage his mindless Trumptard followers to threaten sitting republican senators to support him in the impeachment trial. There are many other so called social media platforms (read anti-social)that are no better than FB or Twitter, get rid of the lot and remove the ability for arseholes to cyber bully. These weak as piss numpties would be to scared to do it face to face.
