Social media giant Meta says it has officially begun ending news availability on its platforms in Canada starting Tuesday, Aug. 1.
Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, has been signalling the move was coming after the government passed its Online News Act, Bill C-18, in June.
The law requires Big Tech giants like Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms.
