Meta blocks news content on Facebook and Instagram in Canada over revenue sharing dispute

Meta has started removing access to news content on Facebook and Instagram for users in Canada.
This is in response to Canada's Online News Act, which requires platforms to negotiate deals and compensate news publishers.
Meta believes the law has a flawed premise, while the Canadian government argues it will support struggling news outlets.
Google is also planning to remove news links and content from its platforms in Canada due to the legislation.
The law reflects a global trend of governments pushing big tech firms to financially support the news industry.
