Meta has threatened to restrict Canadian news material due to media revenue-sharing regulations

In reaction to the country’s planned Bill C-18 legislation, Facebook parent corporation Meta said it may prohibit Canadians from posting news material. The Online News Act, introduced earlier this year by the governing Liberal government, intends to compel platforms like Facebook to enter into revenue-sharing agreements with local news organizations. The law is built after Australia’s News Media Bargaining Code, which the nation enacted in early 2021 over strong opposition from Google and Meta.
