Meta could lose millions of dollars in revenue as Canadian government officials and media outlets withhold advertising from the platform in response to its decision to block links to local news stories.
Government agencies in Canada stopped purchasing ads from Facebook, Instagram, and Google in protest of the social platforms' decision to stop sharing links to Canadian news outlets within the country. The news ban was in response to Canadian lawmakers passing the Online News Act, legislation forcing the platforms to pay news outlets compensation for distributing their content.
Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez called Meta's tactics a"very bully approach," saying the company failed to recognize Canada's sovereignty when it decided to bar news."We can't have them coming here and telling us what to do; we need these big players to start contributing their fair share."
