What's bullshit is your suggestion that Facebook is not subject to Australian law!

For example see News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code - it requires platforms such as FB to enter into commercial arrangements with news media (https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislat...)

Ahh no sorry, I was suggesting that it would have been more expensive and more difficult for somebody to win a defamation suit against a US company.

Don't get me started about the mandatory bargaining code. I think the ISP should have held their ground and pulled out of Australia.
