Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen says the federal government should engage directly with Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding its decision to abandon revenue-sharing deals with local news publishers. Haugen says Zuckerberg controls the social media giant, and his opinion is the only one that matters. She adds that Meta could and should pay for news content, and she argues that Australia needs to play hardball with Meta, given that the nation led the way globally with its news media bargaining code. Haugen will address the Australian Cybersecurity Conference in Canberra next week.
