"Meta's Decision: Ending News Tab and Payment Deals in U.S. and Australia"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by TechCrunch

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is planning to shut down its news tab in the U.S. and Australia by April 2024, citing a significant drop in user engagement and a need to focus on products and services that users value the most. The decision comes as Meta aims to distance itself from news-related regulations and payment complexities, following similar moves in the UK, Germany, and France. The company emphasized that existing deals with publishers will not be affected, and users will still be able to share news on their feeds, but it has no plans to invest in new news-related products in these countries.

Google's Controversial Test: Removing News Tab from Search Results

Originally Published 1 year ago — by 9to5Google

Google Search has been testing shuffling the order of search tabs, including the "News" tab, but has confirmed that it's just a test and the "News" tab won't be permanently removed. The company stated that the test only affected a small subset of users and that the News filter is available to users now with no plans to remove it. It's unclear if Google intends to continue shuffling the order of search tabs, but recent tests also include a new, more prominent look for the various search filters.
