Student publications and nonprofit community outlets are caught up in a drawn-out battle between the Canadian government, big-name publishers, and Meta.
There’s a difference between scraping news organizations, summarizing it, and then presenting it on your site (which is what Google/Meta do, and what the regulation was meant to make them pay for), and having to pay for user shared content.
Forcing Meta/Google to pay for the first case I don’t have an issue with, the second one though seems rather silly.

Maybe it’s silly, but that’s beside the point. Facebook is not being forced to remove news, they decided to not pay for it.
