Go ahead news I won’t miss collapse it all
Banned Facebook from Canada
Don’t need FB for news contents. Keep it out of Canada. 👍
Same here, haven’t been on since 2015. Now they require PHOTO ID for an account creation. hahahah
Lol using Facebook for news …
Google, twitter, rumble should do the same thing
And tumblr
We’d only benefit from that.
One more reason to quit Facebook
This is how behind our news outlets are….🤣🤣🤣
Facebook died a decade ago….
It’s also Google who mirrors news content without paying. It’s bigger than FB. Not saying I know the answer, but big tech is essentially profiting off journalists without paying them anything.
Stopped using FB 4yrs ago & never looked back. Awful platform.
How do we characterize and recognize news? Which internet-link will be punished by a fee?
What are content creator uploads in general? How much may entertainment reflect actual latest events without being identified as news?
And last but not least: What’s the required time gap? A day, one week, one month, one year?
insights?=sure, but please don’t stop here=kinda the wrong crowd to be asking questions and expecting serious answers.
Yes. And what is a woman?
@king james488 Do you promote the “law of the strongest”?
@dave mcd Aren’t you a member of “this wrong crowd”?
@Greg Wayne You like distractions, don’t you?
That’s OK! I’ll just get my news from AOL (remember those free disks?) lol – all joking aside, if FB is using news to enhance its site and increase engagement, they MUST pay a fair price to the journalists and content creators. FB makes heaps from advertisers and that should be enough for Meta Mark.
I no longer search with Google. Time to get a VPN
No no. You threatened to charge them for their free advertising.
WE CAN GET NEWS ON FB IN CANADA??
The law of unintended consequences…
No problem, I stopped using Facebook for at least 10 years.
Bill c-11 needs to go as well. This bill is not in Canadians best interest.
At what point does Facebook loose its platform protection?
If you’re getting your News from Facebook or Instagram that’s a problem right there.
Yea this company like this government have exceeded there boundaries.
Whatever will we do without Facebook news lol. Shitting my pants right now
