Meta plans to end access to news on Facebook and Instagram in Canada in response to legislation that would require internet giants to pay news publishers.

Pulling a card from googles playbook, Google pulled searching capability from AU when they did that, it lasted a full week then they bailed on it and turned it back on again. I am pressing X to doubt when facebook says that they have no financial value in "news sources" which is why they are making the change.

Worst case scenario publishers get more money and information gets vetted better... I see this as a win-win for consumers.

100% a win-win, hopefully other countries follow this
