that's not what I'm implying at all, you're very good at trolling in terms of eliciting a response. for the lazy, from the article (emphasis mine):

Canada is following the lead of Australia, which passed similar legislation in 2021. Meta temporarily blocked Australians from sharing news stories on Facebook, but **the ban was lifted when it reached a deal with the government. **

you apparently know that facebook isn't currently blocking news in Aus as per your other comment regarding "immendments", so I'm done feeding the trolls

Yes, I totally agree! As you cited, Facebook blocked news on their platform in Aus (as I phrased it, backed out) after their legislation was passed. And now it's possible that they do the same in Canada. I don't understand why you're hounding me and accusing me of spreading misinformation. Toxic.

I genuinely think I'm being trolled here at this point so I'm going to stop engaging/replying to comments. Have a nice day.
