Since Meta does not pay taxes in Canada and does not want to abide to Canada's laws (this is not the first time, remember https://globalnews.ca/news/7426684/facebook-canadian-class-action-suit-personal-data/ ), they should be banned from receiving any revenue from advertisement in Canada until they get their shit together.

Or they can f*** off and leave Canada altogether. I won't miss them.

For real, though. Where is all of the anger at the rich guy who could just pay people for their work (and pay taxes)? Facebook is not the victim here.

Facebook says this law "makes no sense" and that often seems to be the only reason some people have for talking about it as if it does make any sense. It doesn't, despite Facebook saying so.
