Social Media News #Australia March 15th 2021 – Facebook drops Page Likes for political figures

Monday Morning Tea (News) with Laurel Papworth – Rollout in AUSTRALIA of removing likes from Facebook Pages of PUBLIC FIGURES – politicians mostly. Since January (?) this has been quietly rolled out including removing those Pages from Pages you Watch, removing the ability to “like as a Business Page” removing Top Posts from Watchlist and removing them from the Page newsfeed. What do you think of that? o.O #Australia #socialmedia #News We also chat about Facebook Commerce Manager vs Shopify app on a Facebook page.

• Example of political (public figure) page
• Facebook’s public Announcement no mention of inability to Like a Page as Your Page, Pages Newsfeed gone, can’t be added to Pages Watchlist, or Top Posts, or analytics etc. [By Asad Awan, Head of Public Connections and Monetization.]
• Page Feed: Replace SilkCharm with Your Page (vanity url) https://www.facebook.com/SilkCharm/news_feed
• Pages to Watch: go to your page/insights and then the bottom of Overview/General.
• Adding Shopify apps (see YouTube video) and Facebook shop app (facebook’s own shop) in Commerce Manager. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr6y2R1Gpmk
• add Mailchimp to the Facebook page (I did this video tutorial ages ago but its the same principle)
