Facebook has
lifted its ban on news after it blocked Australian users from sharing or
viewing local or international news content, as a protest against paying for
news.
The pages will return in coming days, and are as a result
of ongoing discussions between the company’s boss Mark Zuckerberg and Treasurer
Josh Frydenberg.
The tech giant has called a truce with the Morrison
government, which is hopeful Facebook will now move quickly to sign commercial
deals with news businesses.
Mr Frydenberg has now reached an agreement with Facebook
to amend the law - after days of negotiations with Mr Zuckerberg - which is
expected to pass the parliament this week.
