@Kecessa
The reality is that the Canadian media need Facebook more than Facebook needs the Canadian media.
If the "bump" is so small, why is everyone complaining when this "exploitation" is removed? They should be cheering!
Reaction from Radio-Canada and La Presse has been negative only in the sense that they think it sucks that because some people only take their needs from Facebook they'll now lose access to reliable information if they don't bother going directly to the source. There's also the obvious criticism that comes with Meta saying "We can still do it in case of emergency like we did in Australia" and then turning around and not sharing critical info when the situation presents itself.
I honestly believe they should simply be banned from Canadian internet at this point unless they start paying taxes on all profits made from Canadians and their content, but I don't make the rules.
