The fight between Facebook and the government explained

In a bombshell this week Facebook threatened to block the sharing of Australian news content. It means media companies and everyday users won't be able to share news on Facebook or Instagram. This threat from Facebook is in response to a new code developed by the ACCC that would require Facebook and Google, which also owns Youtube, to share a portion of their ad revenue with Australian media organisations and newspapers.

So who is going to win? Will Facebook really stop doing news in Australia? Or will the Australian government be able to force them to agree on a revenue deal? On today's episode we break it down for you with the help of Dan Van Boom, editor of tech site CNET.

In today's news headlines:

  • PM to push for open borders at National Cabinet, but some states have already refused
  • Two Australians among ship crew missing feared dead after Typhoon off Japan
  • Australian arrested in Bali on drug charges
  • Facebook cracks down on US ads before election
