Interestingly, Google and Facebook seem to disagree on whether an algorithm can determine what content is 'news':

Google says: "There seems to be no clear or obvious distinction between news and non-news content, and the way that Google works, there is no algorithm that could navigate such a vague and broad definition." [0]

But Facebook says: "Assuming this draft code becomes law, we will reluctantly stop allowing publishers and people in Australia from sharing local and international news" [1]

So who is right?
