Facebook reversed its news ban after Australia amended its legislation. News outlets and government agencies were affected by the temporary ban on Facebook. Facebook was accused of using an overly broad definition of what is considered a news publisher to cause chaos in the country. The company believes the disorder was an error.
Now Facebook's prepared to put a block on news in Canada if the country doesn't change its legislation...."If this draft legislation becomes law, creating globally unprecedented forms of financial liability for news links or content, we may be forced to consider whether we continue to allow the sharing of news content on Facebook in Canada as defined under the Online News Act," Meta states.
