News Corporation’s CEO Robert Thomson has criticised Meta Platforms for opting against renewing its revenue-sharing deals with Australian news publishers. Thomson has told a media and telecom conference in San Francisco that Meta’s decision shows a blatant disregard for the Australian community, especially as Meta is a company that talks about ‘community’. Thomson has also questioned Meta’s claim that news comprises less than three per cent of the content people see on their Facebook feed; he contends that while there is core news, 100 per cent of the contemporary factual information on Facebook is news, and this is what Meta should be focusing on.
