Meta’s news ban is preventing Canadians from sharing vital information about the wildfires ripping through western Canada::Canadians are calling on Meta to lift its news ban so they can share news about the wildfires in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia.
i mean, i mostly agree. i don’t get my news from facebook
but when i say “now they’re complaining” i don’t just mean random people. the people that are complaining are Justin Trudeau and David Eby.
Yup, no fan of Meta, but this law was a bad idea
For just about anything you can always find “people” that complain about it: I mean, Flat-Earthers complain of their views getting “unfair treatment”.
That doesn’t at all mean it’s bad or even that such a view is anywhere representative of what even a significant minority of people thinks.
Somebody complaining about something is only a valid threshold for “newsworthy” for a “news” media which is clickbait prone or little more than the mouthpiece of a specific political side.
(Not Canadian, don’t really have a side in there, just pointing out what I see as a general rule).
