Everyone on the far right will be scratching their heads because all their "news" will still be available.

I think billion dollar companies should be torn apart by governments and then have the individual parts sold off. Or they can pay up.

No news on social media is the best decision in a long time. Hope it’s a complete blackout and people have to go to reputable news sites from now on.

Other countries are calling out billionaires who own apps and pay nothing to the country and the damage they do to communities with false information

Disinformation took a massive hit. Rebel news and true north are taken down and they provide most of it to the public.

People will always look for “news” that fits their narrative anyway. The amount of people who think CBC is owned by the Liberals is frightening.

IMO anyone getting their news from Meta deserves to have the news blocked on their feed.

Nothing is stopping Canadians from downloading news apps for their news. Don’t depend on Facebook for your news anyways 😂

Bill C-18 may not be the best but the Canadian government can't flinch. If we flinch now we will forever be a doormat for big tech.

On the other hand, it's also blocking post media and sun media, which will cut down on disinformation

I don’t rely on Facebook or Google for my news. In fact I don’t trust Facebook for news. I go to the respected site for news ie CTV CBC ABC CNN etc…

I hate agreeing with Meta on anything, but the right wing propaganda corps calling themselves "news" should NOT be paid when someone links to them.
