Why It Matters: The Australian PM's comments come amid an ongoing dispute between Australia and Meta over paying news outlets for their content. The government is pushing for Meta to continue paying local media organizations under the news media bargaining code, which was introduced in 2021.
爲什麼重要：澳大利亞總理的評論是在澳大利亞和Meta支付新聞機構內容的持續爭議中發表的。政府正在推動Meta繼續根據2021年推出的新聞媒體談判法向本地媒體機構支付費用。
Mia Garlick, Meta's regional policy director, previously stated that the company is considering all options, including banning news on its platforms if the government enforces the news media bargaining code. Under this code, Meta could face fines of up to 10% of its Australian revenue if it fails to engage in payment discussions with news organizations,

In March, Meta announced that it would stop compensating news publishers for their content on Facebook in Australia, France, and Germany.
