Meta’s news ban is preventing Canadians from sharing vital information about the wildfires ripping through western Canada::Canadians are calling on Meta to lift its news ban so they can share news about the wildfires in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia.
i mean, i mostly agree. i don’t get my news from facebook, and most people i know who use facebook say it’s a generally more pleasant experience without news on the site.
but when i say “now they’re complaining” i don’t just mean random people. the people that are complaining are Justin Trudeau and David Eby. If they want facebook to link to news sites, they shouldn’t charge facebook money to do that. most websites pay facebook money to link to them.
Yup, no fan of Meta, but this law was a bad idea
