Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has called on Meta to rule out that it was testing a feature to block Australian news content on its platforms, after Meta blamed an “error” for the issue.
On Monday morning, Threads users posted that attempts to share Australian news articles resulted in them being shown a prompt that said the “post failed to upload”.
“Interesting … I can’t post links to any Australian news articles/websites here on Threads — I tried 3 diff. media orgs, all failed to load, both App & desktop versions,” posted user @emergencybk.
