More specifically, the news is not blocked, they choose not to put news links so they don’t have to pay.

This was such a huge own goal. They need to fix this asap.
I’m not saying put things back the way they were, but stop the disincentive for real news. Maybe tax social media and subsidise journalism, or otherwise regulate them in some way.
Facebook was always crap. It’s a propaganda tool masquerading as enterprise.

That’s what they did.
No, they tried to tax links to news, so facebook just took the links away.
I’m saying tax or regulate the platform itself.
Edit: to give a practical example off the top of my head: tariff foreign advertising services targeting Canadians (or even more broadly), use that to subsidise media.
People need to seperate what happened to quantify the win and losses of the actions.
The original bill was intended for news corporation to get a fair cut for their content. Even with just Google signing on for a 100 million was a significant success.

For accessibility to news. Having less access to news for people always a bad thing. Having little to no regulations for modern media has also been a huge failure for almost all governments globally.
