Facebook rejects move to regulate adverts, news feeds




Facebook Inc has rejected an Australian regulator’s recommendation for greater scrutiny over the social network’s advertising market power and the ranking of news articles in customers’ feeds.
The proposal by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in December, along with a new regulator to police technology giants, is being watched closely in other countries as governments seek to check their power.
“People, not regulators, should decide what they see in their news feeds,” Facebook said in a 76-page submission in reply dated March 3 and emailed to Reuters on Wednesday.
“Creating a news ranking regulator for Facebook is not a proportionate regulatory solution that will be effective to address the longstanding monetization challenges facing some Australian publishers,” Facebook said.
It said the commission underestimated the level of competition in online advertising markets in Australia, and was mistaken in its belief that Facebook’s aggregation and analysis of users’ data made it powerful.
Facebook’s response follows a similar rebuttal from Alphabet Inc’s Google as the companies seek to head off a crackdown that could form a template for curtailing their growing influence in public life around the world.
The ACCC had said the enormous market power of firms such as Google, which has a 94 percent share of web searches in Australia, and their opaque methods for ranking advertisements, gave them the ability and incentive to favor their businesses over advertisers.
