News & Reviews:   news sharing

So it finally happened, Australia Facebook users are now blocked from sharing or reading news on Facebook (lol). If you haven't been hearing news about this, the controversy began a few months ago where the Australia government was proposing a law to make tech companies (Facebook and Google) pay for news content.

If you're the type that likes to share news, you'll be glad that Facebook is stepping up its game in this area. Back in June, the company made it so that you'll be notified if the news you're sharing is too old. Now, you'll also get more info about the link.

Have you ever shared news you found interesting, but didn't realise it was months old? Sometimes we didn't check the date and sometimes there isn't one, but the date of the news can often be important. Knowing this, Facebook has made it so that you will now know when you're sharing old news.
