    Canadian media is a loser, particularly the small and independent media outlets that are more reliant on social media to develop community and build their audience. The loss of Facebook links will take a serious toll and undermine innovative companies in Canada.

    Sounds like these are the same “independent media outlets” that have consistently been pushing anti-science, right-wing, anti-women, anti-LGBT lies and disinformation, which gets spread around like a virus on Facebook.

    Meta has done us all a favour. 😄

      Don’t praise them for doing the bare minimum to curb the endless ragebait politicization they intentionally created.

        Trust me, I’m not giving them credit for doing something amazing for the world, because they are an evil corporation.

        Their stubbornness, regardless of what Zuk thinks, works out great for us! They’ve shot themselves in the foot.
