    I’m fucking pissed that the national broadcaster in Canada is still using Meta’s platforms even though Meta is blocking all Canadian news from the same platforms, boycott should go both ways.

      Meta is blocking Canadian news because the law now requires them to pay the news outlets to display those news articles. It’s not a boycott so much as Meta being cheap. That’s one case where I think it would be easier for Meta if the news orgs left; them staying on the platforms keeps a little more pressure on saying Meta should pay because the demand is there.
