I hit my first instance of Meta blocking Canadian news content.
Rachael sent me a story from #CBCVancouver via Instagram messages.
The thumbnail is visible in messages (1), but when I click, I get the restricted message (2)
I wasn’t following the CBCVancouver account, and when I search for and visit the profile, I get a different message (3)
I guess Rachael hasn’t had this rolled out to her account yet.
Remember, there are no good guys in this #BillC18 debacle.
How do you feel about Lemmy bots that summarize articles in the comments?
Issue is the same for the media but there's no advertising revenue for the social media platform, in the end it's still shitty for the content producers.
There's no "gotcha" there.
