Canada’s Heritage Minister redoubled her calls for Meta to end its ban on Canadian news content on Facebook and Instagram on Saturday as thousands of Canadians continued their rush to escape wildfires ravaging British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.
I honestly don’t get this thing about FB blocking news - it’s because they are being forced to pay the news organisations, right? But why are they being forced to pay them - isn’t it good for the news organisations to have their links appear on FB, so that people click those links, read their articles and see their ads?
I’m probably missing something, but I don’t get it.

Thanks, that’s interesting.
It’s a shame, because I really don’t like FB much, and I would consider myself a supporter of traditional news media (quality stuff at least) - but here, I just can’t see how they think they have a case.
Rupert didn’t fail. He got paid by Meta in Australia. It worked exactly as he had asked
Also … are you ChatGPT because … Canadas government is liberal
