This does not impact anyone except in Papua New Guinea, which is just a bit north of Australia. It is still an incredibly interesting story of one country taking action against what it sees as "fake news." The government is going to block Facebook for a month to "understand users' behaviour and safeguard them from fake news." I am not sure exactly how that would work, and there is little detail about it, but I would bet that this will not end up being taken well by the folks that use Facebook in Papua New Guinea. Thanks cageymaru.
