The fact is government Covid updates quite clearly are covered by the law as content that is chargeable if they chose to do so. It's hardly reasonable to accuse facebook of not knowing what they are doing when blocking content, when the Australian government clearly has no idea what it's doing defining the scope of the law.

They aren't.

No, it's reasonable. This has backfired badly for Facebook. They've weakened their bargaining position.
