Meta is so unwilling to pay for news under a new Canadian law that it’s starting to block it on Facebook and Instagram in that country::The rollout of the news ban on Facebook and Instagram for users in Canada will take place over the next few weeks.
Wait, this article makes it sound like Meta would have to pay for other people posting links on Facebook to news websites. If that’s the case, that’s nuts. Are they gonna try doing this with Reddit and Lemmy too, or does it just apply to Facebook? Cause that’s a great way to get Canadian news sites banned from everything on the entire net.
