CP NewsAlert: Canadian government suspends advertising on Facebook, Instagram

By The Canadian Press on July 5, 2023.

OTTAWA – Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says the federal government will stop advertising on Facebook and Instagram.

The decision comes after Meta began blocking Canadian news content on its Facebook and Instagram platforms in response to Canada’s recently passed Online News Act, which would make tech giants pay media outlets in exchange for using their content.

More coming.
