Facebook ‘news’ tab ends for U.S., Australian users
The Facebook news tab on the main homepage is now directing users to an information site, informing them that Facebook news is no longer available.
Users clicking the Facebook News tab are now redirected to this info page.
In a significant shift, Facebook has announced that its Facebook News feature, which was located in the News tab, will no longer be available in the United States and Australia starting in early April.
Users reported Tuesday morning in Australia that the news tab was no longer pointing to a news aggregation site, but rather to an infomation page about the decision to end news on the platform.
This decision follows a similar move made earlier in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, where the Facebook News feature was also discontinued.
Facebook News was introduced as a dedicated section within the Facebook app, providing users with curated news articles from various publishers.
It aimed to offer users a convenient way to stay informed about current events and trending topics directly within the Facebook platform.
Big change
However, Facebook’s decision to discontinue the Facebook News feature in the United States and Australia marks a notable change in its approach to news distribution.
While the company has not provided detailed reasons for this decision, it comes amidst increasing scrutiny over Facebook’s role in disseminating news and its impact on the media landscape.
The move also comes at a time when Facebook is facing regulatory challenges and controversies related to its handling of news content. Critics have raised concerns about the spread of misinformation and the influence of social media platforms on public discourse.
With the discontinuation of Facebook News, users in the United States and Australia will no longer have access to the curated news articles previously available in the News tab.
However, Facebook has stated that it remains committed to supporting journalism and news publishers through other initiatives.

Russia strengthens ties with China following Trump’s positive meeting with Xi Jinping, aiming for deeper cooperation across various sectors
– Russian officials emphasise their alliance with China after Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping.
– Prime Minister Mishustin’s visit to China aims to strengthen trade and cooperation between the two nations.
Mishustin described his Chinese counterpart as a “dear friend,” stating that Russian-Chinese relations are at their peak despite Western sanctions. Li Qiang reciprocated by expressing Beijing’s readiness to strengthen ties, noting mutual support amid external risks and challenges.
Strategic Partnership
China remains Russia’s most important ally, having not condemned the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and echoes Russia’s language, referring to the situation as a “crisis.”
Ahead of this visit, the Kremlin highlighted the significance of the talks, sending a robust delegation, including top officials from finance, agriculture, space, and nuclear energy.
Mishustin’s visit coincides with Trump’s recent discussions with Xi, where agreements were reportedly reached on several issues in a gesture seen as a trade truce amidst rising tariffs.
Trump’s engagement with China contrasts with his lack of progress in talks with Russia, which he attributed to frustrations over the Ukraine conflict. This context may indicate Russia’s unease regarding China’s positive interactions with the U.S.
