VIVA Techno – Platform Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, plans to start testing restricting access to certain news content in Canada, according to a report.
The trial, which will last for several weeks, will prevent certain users and editors from viewing or sharing certain news content.
During testing, a small percentage of users will be notified when they are about to share news content. The US tech giant is conducting tests in response to the Online News Act proposed by the Canadian government last year.
The law proposes to force platform giants, such as Google and Meta, to pay news publishers for their content.
Just the origin of the year. Last month, Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said if the law passes, it would end the availability of news content in Canada.
“So we have made the difficult decision that if this flawed online news law is passed, we will have to end the availability of news content on Facebook and Instagram for Canada,” Clegg said.
