> blocked news from its apps in Canada in 2023 after a new law required the social media giant to pay Canadian news publishers a tax for publishing their content. The ban applies to all news outlets irrespective of origin, including The New York Times. play stupid games, win stupid prizes

To be fair to news/media outlets, social media platforms get to embed part of the article as a free dinner and almost zero revenue flows to the outlets. News media in general has had declining revenue for ages so it doesn't really matter if Meta or anyone stops showing news outlets, they will go bankrupt either way. Meta and other platforms make a ton of money from the discussion etc generated by these articles but never pay anything back. It will unfortunately probably be a net loss for society when all the outlets are bankrupt (save for a few independent journalists who are really good, most of the alternatives are terrible)

This is what happens when you try to regulate tech giants without fully thinking through the consequences….You end up with an info vacuum that’s just waiting to be filled with trash.
