For those not reading the article: the law isn’t prohibiting Facebook from letting users share news content. Rather, it’s requiring Facebook to pay Canadian publishers before letting users share their news content. The amount to be paid is to be determined through government-meditated negotiations with the publishers. Facebook has chosen not to participate in this and therefore it will stop letting users share news articles at all.
(Why Facebook won’t be letting Canadian users share articles published in other countries is not clear to me.)

Two reasons come to mind
It might have to do with using VPNs.
