Meta has begun to remove news content from Facebook and Instagram in Canada, the company said, in response to recently passed legislation in the country that requires tech companies to negotiate payments to news organizations for hosting their content

As a result of the move — which Meta had previously said would occur before the law takes effect — Meta’s Canadian users will no longer be able to click on links to news articles posted to Facebook and Instagram. The changes began Tuesday and will roll out gradually over the coming weeks, said Meta spokesperson Andy Stone.

Like-minded proposals have been introduced around the world amid allegations that the tech industry has decimated local journalism by sucking away billions in online advertising revenues. In May, Meta also threatened to remove news content from California if the state moved ahead with a revenue-sharing bill. The legislation was put on hold last month.
