Facebook disfavours the news in the U.S. and Australia

Yesterday, 29 February 2024, Meta announced its deprecation of Facebook News in the U.S. and Australia in early April this year. This move is following the same deprecation in the UK, France and Germany last December. The users can still read the news on Facebook’s feed in these countries. The platform will not cease the access of the news publishers to their accounts, pages and their posts of news article links, content. They will continue to execute the existing agreements with the publishers until their expiration. The company reveals the drop of users’ views of the news and political content, about over 80% last year and around only less than 3% of the audiences read the news in their Facebook feed.
