People in Canada can no longer access news content on Meta's platforms
People in Canada won't be able to view links Canadian or international publishers and broadcasters share.
You're viewing a single thread.
Good. You're not supposed to go to Facebook to be informed.
What do you mean? The same people who get "news" from Facebook will still get "news" from Facebook. It will just no longer involve any actual media companies. Think blogger, pseudo-news and AI generated content - fake news gonna fake.
Also American news
No American or international news either, says Meta
Canadians will no longer be able to view or post news content on Facebook or Instagram. News outlets, including international ones, will start having their content blocked on those platforms
Well that's a bit of a relief at least
And they'll have to go to actual sources to fact check.
Bold of you to assume that fact checking is even in the repertoire of the chud brained
My point is with this legislation we effectively removed news outlets from the "source pool", and all the remaining sources you can rely on Facebook is the questionable ones.
What did I do now? Does McDonald's have news I can read?
They sure do. Did you know there will be new toys in the happy meal soon?
That's right, you're supposed to go down to the local coffee shop to find out what is going on.
