Meta is so unwilling to pay for news under a new Canadian law that it’s starting to block it on Facebook and Instagram in that country::The rollout of the news ban on Facebook and Instagram for users in Canada will take place over the next few weeks.
but, but, then who will filter the news they’re fed with, so that they only get exposed to opinions they “like”, thus reinforcing whatever polarized view they have? Why would they want to access ANY news??
From what I’ve noticed, Facebook has been doing exactly the opposite for me. It shows me only the articles that will make my blood boil. And then it’ll also preview only the comment that will make me rage the hardest, whether it’s the most reacted to or not. It’s a fucking rage generator.
