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

The bill’s backer, Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, accused Meta of following in the footsteps of the corporation in Australia. “All we’re asking internet behemoths like Facebook to do is negotiate fair contracts with news organizations when they benefit from their work,” he told The National Post. Meta, among other things, contends that news content is not a substantial source of income for the firm. When Australia implemented its News Media Bargaining Code, Meta temporarily blocked access to all news material inside the nation. However, the corporation finally agreed to include the coverage of groups such as News Crop.
