Canadians have been engaging less with news on Facebook since Meta’s decision to block journalistic content on some of its platforms.

Not quite true. The gov wanted Facebook to pay news sites instead of just rehosting their content so Meta pulled news on their platforms from Canada

I’m super happy with this result. It’s reducing the amount of political and racist crap. By dialing down the rhetoric the nutbags are losing their audiences and starting to fade away.

If there was no social media those idiot “truckers” (domestic terrorists) would never have happened.

Oh. I’m Canadian and I almost never use Facebook so I though that’s just how things be now for the whole world.
