This was such a huge own goal. They need to fix this asap.

I'm not saying put things back the way they were, but stop the disincentive for real news. Maybe tax social media and subsidise journalism, or otherwise regulate them in some way.

Facebook was always crap. It's a propaganda tool masquerading as enterprise.

Maybe tax social media and subsidise journalism, or otherwise regulate them in some way.

That's what they did.

No, they tried to tax links to news, so facebook just took the links away.

I'm saying tax or regulate the platform itself.

Edit: to give a practical example off the top of my head: tariff foreign advertising services targeting Canadians (or even more broadly), use that to subsidise media.
