I hit my first instance of Meta blocking Canadian news content.
(media.cosocial.ca)
What's going on Canada?

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Facebook is blocking news, not journalism specifically.

But The Beaverton isn't "news" either, it's literally fiction. If The Beaverton is "news", then so is some fanfiction blog with ads on it. So is every web comic.
Ultimately, it's really just that FB/Meta don't want to pay people for content. They want to get paid.
Categories like "journalism" or "news" are just BS terms used to cover what they're doing.
The Beaverton is mostly based on the news, so one can glean what is news from that fiction.
