Facebook might ban news sharing in Canada if the country passes legislation forcing the company to pay news outlets for their content (via The Wall Street Journal).In a post shared on Friday, Facebook parent company Meta says Canada’s proposed Online News Act falsely presumes that it “unfairly benefits from its relationship with publishers.”First introduced in April, the Online News Act compels online platforms like Facebook and Google to share revenue with the publishers they aggregate their news from.Although Australia eventually passed the law, it wasn’t without significant pushback from Facebook and Google.While Google later walked back on its plans after striking deals with media organizations, Facebook reversed its news ban only after Australia amended its legislation.Facebook's temporary ban not only affected news outlets but also ripped down posts from government agencies, like local fire and health departments."
