Canadian PM Trudeau criticizes Meta over blocked Canadian news, citing safety concerns and billions in revenue.
Canadian PM Trudeau criticizes Meta, calling the social media giant "irresponsible" and its news ban "degrading safety" as it makes billions. This dispute comes in the wake of Meta blocking Canadian news from its platform due to the federal government's Online News Act, which seeks compensation for news outlets whose stories are used on Facebook feeds. Trudeau made his comments in West Kelowna, B.C., where communities were involved in mass evacuations last summer, with vital wildfire and evacuation information being blocked on Meta's Facebook platform.
