Curran said they hope the government changes its approach.
Paul Deegan, president and chief executive officer of News Media Canada, said the company’s move was rash, before the rules have even been finalized. “We expect more Canadian corporate and government advertisers will halt advertising on the platform as a result of this undemocratic move to ‘unfriend’ Canada.”“They would rather block their users from accessing good quality and local news instead of paying their fair share to news organizations. Google and Facebook earn 80 per cent of all digital advertising revenue in Canada,” she said in a statement.
