Facebook, Instagram to block news for Canadians in response to Liberal bill C-18
Meta has announced it will be blocking news links on Facebook and Instagram for Canadian users in response to the passage of the Liberal government’s online news bill C-18.
if only they'd do that in the US
The bill is bullshit. Meta (Google, Twitter) blocks the news for a few days, the publishers will make a special deal with Meta that allows them to link without paying, everyone else that isn't a giant tech-corporation is fucked. Happened the same way in Germany.
If the bill is about this I think canada might be kinda right in this one.
Our news propaganda network happened partly because they suddenly lost income to free internet news.
