Meta To Test Limiting News On Facebook, Instagram In Canada: Report

ABP News  

Meta Platforms has announced that it will conduct tests on its social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, in Canada, as reported by Reuters. This legislation aims to compel platforms like Meta and Google's parent company, Alphabet, to engage in negotiations for commercial agreements and compensate Canadian news publishers for their content. It is worth noting that Google had previously implemented similar tests earlier this year, temporarily blocking news content for select Canadian users. Meta announced on Wednesday that it would remove news content in California if the state government passed legislation mandating tech companies to pay publishers, as reported by Reuters. The proposed California Journalism Preservation Act aims to combat the decline of the local news sector by requiring online platforms to pay a "journalism usage fee" to news providers whose work is featured in their services.
