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.

Iran-US nuclear talks restart; diplomacy favored amidst economic interests and potential energy deals, mediated by Oman, amid high stakes.
Iran is pursuing a new nuclear agreement with the United States aimed at delivering economic benefits to both sides, as negotiations restart over its long-running nuclear programme. With tensions simmering for years, both nations are signalling a desire to avoid military confrontation and stabilise the region.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Donald Trump prefers a diplomatic path forward, while Iran has indicated it is open to compromise in exchange for sanctions relief. The renewed talks mark a significant moment in efforts to de-escalate one of the world’s most volatile geopolitical flashpoints.
Oman is mediating the discussions, which are focused exclusively on Iran and the United States, even as Washington increases economic pressure and Tehran promotes potential deals in energy and mining to sweeten the negotiations.
