"news" from Facebook... I'm ded, that's so lol!!!

"You might have to watch this 17 times before you see it..."

I think this is bad legislation, but also don't care, as the impact will be incredibly low to me.

Will piss off old folks though, which I see as a benefit.

Every 3rd post is already an ad. Why do people even use it anymore.

Because we're old, and we're still mad about that time we had to switch everything to FB when Hi5 shutdown.


In reality, I don't even see news on FB. The main way I find out some big news is happening, is when my FB feed fills up with meme's about it.

Do people really use websites without an ad blocker? What is this 1998?

My only real use for FB is interest groups and marketplace tbh.

Hilariously, as Rebel News is not considered news media by the Canadian Government, it may be the only thing accessible through Google and Facebook now.

Good work Trudao.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

People still use google?

If it means leas ads on social media, I'm all in.

They should have implemented truth in advertising policies too. Tired of the "drink this 30 minutes before bed and lose 30 pounds in a week" bs before every youtube video.

Media wars heating up. Elon is just trying to corner the North American market for Tesla, he literally can't let the world know that BYD is winning.

America can't let the rest of the world know that it is behind on tech for the F-35, same deal. But its more like a $30 million Bugatti than a $3 million.

Well defund CBC crowd is loving this. CBCnews is now blocked on Instagram.

The government of Canada banning Canadian news is bold move.

Canadian gov't will no longer advertise on Meta. The horror.

[ExtraSlow]

I think the bigger story is that the Canadian Government WAS advertising there.
