Isn’t this a little bit like a shit flavoured candy maker, suing Walmart to force them to sell their shit flavoured candy? What grounds do they have to force Facebook to have anything to do with them?
Not really a good analogy because Walmart mostly purchases goods to resell them1, while Facebook does not purchase news. Even so, if Walmart suddenly stopped selling Canadian goods it could lead to a lawsuit too. CBC is not trying to force Facebook to accept CBC links, it’s about all Canadian outlets.
1 well, except on their 3rd party marketplace, but we all know this is not what the analogy is talking about
