We recognize the many years of service and garishly coloured joy he has brought us here on Turtle Island. May we continue to celebrate the spirit of Don Cherry's land with respect and appreciation.

Yeah they passed a thing saying online news has to pay canadian journoids a fee or smth or cease operating, so lots ceased operating. It was under the guise of "stopping foreign misinformation" but it's just a shakedown.
They're trying to do it to streaming services next

Can you still look at foreign news (american or english) or is it everything tagged news?

It's just for social media afaik. You can go to foreign sites, youtube isnt affected and neither is reddit. I haven't seen any impact on my daily life cos i have no social media, but facebook boomers are in shambles

It's just social media.
Basically Canada passed a law that says Facebook has to pay <insert news org here> every time they link to that news org's website/articles. Facebook (correctly imo) pointed out how ridiculous this is and decided to comply with the law by simply not linking to them. You can still browse directly to the news org's websites and read their articles unimpeded, although those same news orgs discovered that a huge portion of their traffic was driven by social media, so they all suffered a heck of a lot more for it than Facebook.

Yeah Australia did this in 2021 as well. Facebook did the same thing and started deleting / blocking pages which caused a lot of drama, all sorts of pages including local football clubs with 500 followers were getting Zucc'd.

The funniest thing too is that the Canuck government's response was to basically blame Meta for the potential deaths of Canadians that could not get warnings about wild fires on Facebook or something because of the news ban.
So they just doubled down on their nonsense of meta creating a public safety hazard instead of just admitting it was a shakedown for cash to subsidize journos.

It's great because it hit the smaller Canacuck news agencies the hardest.

Why not a fee to all overseas operations?
