This is one game where MAD is the winning move to play. I'd like for Meta et al to block Canadian news. I'd also like for Canadian news to block Meta et al. Their endless funnels of garbage that predominantly serve to rile people up are something we could all do with less of. And that goes from both sides.

I don't know if this is MAD. I personally would start using facebook again if there were fewer news and misinformation.

If they blocked news in Europe as well that would be great. News and politics killed facebook and most social media. Politics are important for any society but they should not dominate every conversation platform as it currently does. Essentially, news have been transformed into a completed shitshow turning the internet into the new TV.

I agree. I'm not big on social medias (except this site) but I have absolutely no use for post-2012 Facebook. Banning news sources from it would improve it considerably in my eyes.
