Wait so If I VPN through Canada and connect to Facebook or Instagram, all news will be gone???
My understanding is that it's just Canadian news orgs that will be gone but I could be wrong
All news.
Wow, that's petty of FB
This way it won't be much extra work to block news in the next place that passes this kind of law. Why keep a bunch of different lists of news sites when they can just use the same one everywhere?
It's actually great news though. This is going to put a damper on misinformation and far right news sources.
