Canadian government to stop advertiding with facebook over news row

Meta has already begun restricting access to news to a small percentage of Canadians in tests and said it plans to implement a full blackout in the coming weeks. Canada’s federal government has said it will pull all its advertising from Facebook and Instagram. It follows parent company Meta’s move to restrict news content for Canadians after parliament passed a law that will force tech firms to pay media for news. Google has also announced plans to block Canadian news in the country in response to the Online News Act – also known as Bill C-18 – when it takes effect in about six months. What is your take on technology companies “leaving” Canada due to government stand?
