Ottawa is working on a three-pronged response to the challenges that social media platforms and other online content providers pose to how media in Canada has been financed, regulated and policed in the past. Facebook already props up struggling legacy news firms by directing traffic to their sites, Chan said, arguing that cumbersome regulation would hinder a free and open internet.He pointed to Ontario-based Village Media, whose CEO estimates that Facebook and Google generated 24 million page views for the online community news company in January, amounting to $480,000 in ad revenue. Facebook Canada has also announced investments of $18 million in sustainable media models over six years.
In a statement to The Canadian Press, Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault said the government is consulting with France and Australia over the “market imbalance between news media organizations and those who benefit from their work.” “The challenge is, we do need to strike a balance between people’s ability to speak their minds and share their own feelings and ideas ... and also prevent harmful misinformation about the vaccine from being spread,” Chan said.
Oh no, we can get links to articles we can’t read and all the remaining articles will be extremist lies. Let’s just let Facebook waste away already.
What's facebook my kids are asking
Whatever. I deleted my FB. It’s an old year book with weird parent groups. No thanks
Last resort of what? Why paywall something about censorship?
TO HELL WITH FACEBOOK! CANADA FIRST! Did we learn NOTHING from CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA? Break FB TO PIECES! Crush it to dust if necessary! It isn’t like we can’t create a new social media link in a week! FB is expendable- destroy it!
I could care less. I do not get my news from Facebook in the first place. You (Facebook Canada) will pay journalists for their work just like all other news organizations. Your threats do not phase me the slightest.
People still use Facebook? LOL
Facebook losing the ability to post news would be a huge blessing for society. Civil society is being ruined by the spreading of right-wing fake articles.
