Meta Begins Blocking News in Canada
Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, has started blocking news articles on its social networking services in Canada.
The change, in response to a new law in Canada that requires tech companies to pay news outlets for using their content, will roll out “over the course of the next few weeks,” Meta said in a blog post on Tuesday. Content posted on Facebook and Instagram by both local Canadian news outlets and international outlets will not be visible to Canadians using the platforms.
