CNN ditches Facebook in Australia in major shock move
CNN has given up Facebook for its Australian audience
In fear, CNN says it has stopped posting articles on Australian Facebook pages, citing a court ruling that media firms would be held liable for defamation made by the general public via the comments section.
The company has also tried to collaborate with Facebook, to request comments be muted – but those discussions have reportedly failed.
The move makes CNN, which is owned by telco giant AT&T , the first major news organisation to pull its Australian Facebook presence, since the nations’s high court ruled that publishers were legally responsible for comments posted below stories.
And that’s even if the stories themselves were not defamatory.
CNN does not feature prominently in Australian media consumption, however the decision could have reverberations across the industry if other outlets follow in the footsteps of the American based broadcaster.
Facebook declined a request to help CNN and other publishers disable public comments in the country following the ruling, CNN said.
“We are disappointed that Facebook, once again, has failed to ensure its platform is a place for credible journalism and productive dialogue around current events among its users,”
a CNN spokeswoman said in a statement.
The spokeswoman also added that CNN would continue to publish content on its own platforms within Australia.
This week witnessed another milestone in the automotive industry as the legendary Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen embarked on its electric journey, aligning with global sustainability efforts.
Simultaneously, Toyota and Mazda debuted EV offerings tailored for the booming Chinese market, signalling a strategic shift towards collaboration with advanced Chinese partners.
While the electric G-Wagen promises both eco-friendliness and off-road prowess with its innovative design, questions arise about Japanese automakers’ perceived lag in EV development, countered by the strategic imperative to tap into the rapidly growing Chinese EV market. As automotive icons embrace electrification and traditional players adapt through partnerships, it’s clear that collaboration and innovation will drive the future of mobility.
