Australia is imposing regulation on online news providers (such as Google and Facebook), who are throwing their toys out of the pram.
I don't use FB, never have, but I get how and why people become dependant on it.
I'm not sure I entirely agree with what Australia is doing, FB and Google's news feeds tend to link to the original source rather than stealing the news per se.
I think the bigger problem is with targetted fake news and radicalising bubble algorithms, and I'm not sure that this Australian law even addresses that.

Pardon my ignorance but does anybody ever contact emergency services via Facebook?
