That’s not how any of this works.
Removing the Canadian news from Facebook doesn’t hurt Facebook one bit. It’ll just hurt Canadians by preventing them from seeing news from local sources.
Facebook never needed news to keep people engaged. They just need content, and they don’t give a shit whether that content reflects reality or not, nor do they care of the content came from Canada.
But hey, I’m the corporate shill right? Whatever helps you sleep better at night.
Didn’t say anything about hurting FB.
