In compliance with Canada’s Online News Act, Facebook and Instagram have begun blocking news content for users in the North American country
Meta confirmed in a blog post that the unwinding of news material has started in Canada and will take effect across Facebook and Instagram over the next few weeks. The blocks will not affect news on the social platforms that circulates elsewhere in the world.
“We have been transparent and have made it clear to the Canadian government that the legislation misrepresents the value news outlets receive when choosing to use our platforms,” Meta wrote in its blog post. “The legislation is based on the incorrect premise that Meta benefits unfairly from news content shared on our platforms, when the reverse is true. News outlets voluntarily share content on Facebook and Instagram to expand their audiences and help their bottom line.
