Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday criticized Meta for blocking domestic news from its platforms, saying the Facebook-parent was prioritizing profit over safety as devastating wildfires force tens of thousands to evacuate their homes.
Trudeau’s comments represent the latest government attack on Meta, which this month started blocking news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms for all users in Canada in response to a new law requiring internet giants to pay for news articles.
Like the news organizations that lobbied this stupid law into existence?
You mean the news organizations that didn’t give a platform to the alt right, Q anon, 1%ers, 3%ers, orange vest movements, separatists, truckers convoy, covidiots, neo nazi groups, proud boys, RFKers, etc etc etc? Those news orgs?
What the fuck are you on about? This was lobbied for by the Postmedia, CTV, etc, etc, etc.
Lol what are you insinuating? Postmedia is right leaning but in no way shape or form is it on the same level or did it inflict the same damage as Meta and it’s brands.
