A small percentage of Canadian Facebook users is already losing access to news.

Honestly I just hope this backfires and less Canadians end up using Facebook, we’d definitely be much better off

I read that as you want Canadians off of FB because they’re spoiling it, lol.

Create a post

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
