Canadians no longer able to share or view news articles and other content by publishers and broadcasters, including international outlets. Online News Act requires tech giants to compensate Canadian news outlets for content shared on their platforms.

    I feel like most people who get their news primarily through Facebook, are horribly misinformed.

    So maybe this is a good thing?

      It is a good thing. Facebook was fun when it was about sharing what’s going on with you with your family and friends. Now it’s just a bottomless shithole where everybody argues about dumb shit.
