Original Note:
Canada’s Online News Act does not give it the power to block news sources. However, it does require platforms to pay news sites when links are posted to their articles. In response to this, Meta is blocking the posting/accessing of news content on its platforms by Canadians. https://about.fb.com/news/2023/06/changes-to-news-availability-on-our-platforms-in-canada/
