The Canadian government is practicing what it preaches by pulling its ads from Meta. Though $10M dollars is nothing to the tech giant, the principle behind the move is what's most important. Canadian newspapers are drowning under the weight of social media, and there won't be any independent, objective outlets for Canadians to read unless the government steps in to help.
Social media platforms have no choice but to restrict Canadian news content in the face of an unworkable bill that hasn’t taken the tech companies’ suggestions into consideration. Canada is only hurting itself because now the country’s major media associations and outlets will lose the traffic Google and Meta generate. The government should negotiate a better deal with these companies.
