Not just Canada, Meta is trying to kill Facebook’s news feed in other countries too

Firstpost  

Meta plans to kill Facebook’s news tab in a number of countries. This comes after several media organisations across the world, as well as some legislators have demanded that Meta compensates news organisations for curating their articles for their platform Meta has revealed its plan to discontinue the dedicated news tab on Facebook in certain European countries, starting in early December. Facebook getting rid of its News Tab In an official statement, Meta specified that the Facebook news tab will no longer be available in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Nonetheless, in contrast to Meta’s assurances that news outlets can continue to post content for their audiences, recent reports suggest that Meta has discreetly reduced referral traffic to media organizations. Reach attributes this decline to “recent changes to the way Facebook presents news content, causing a reduction in referred traffic across the sector.” This development occurs in the context of Meta’s earlier decision to block Facebook news content in Canada back in June, in response to a new law that requires technology companies to compensate news outlets for their content.
