The former head of Facebook’s operations in Australia—coming after Facebook moved to block Australian news sharing— stated that users should simply delete the app from their phones to send a message to the firm.

Stephen Scheeler, the former CEO of Facebook Australia and New Zealand, told The Australian that the social media giant’s decision “looks and feels ugly,” adding: “It shouldn’t have happened. But unfortunately, it did.”
