Meta’s ban on news links has rankled Canadians trying to share evacuation information across remote communities where social media is key to disseminating news.
for the city of Yellowknife urged residents Thursday to search on Google for the website owned by CPAC, a Canadian broadcast channel, for wildfire updates. “Due to the recent change in Legislation, the City is unable to share the link because it’s a media source,” the municipality wrote.
Tait said she is asking Meta, at a minimum, to reverse the ban until the danger from the wildfires subsides. “When the pandemic hit, our newspapers took our paywall down because we thought it was our public duty,” she said, adding that Meta, by contrast, is “surgically withholding news and critical information because of a business decision.”
