Do media aggregators have a duty to provide links to public news sources in emergencies? (www.cbc.ca)

The NWT government and city of Yellowknife are describing in tweets, Instagram messages etc. how to search key evacuation information on CPAC and CBC. The broadcast carriers have a duty to carry emergency information, but Meta and X are blocking links.

While internet access is reportedly limited in Yellowknife, residents are finding this a barrier to getting current and accurate information. Even links to CBC radio are blocked.

THE LAW HAS NOT YET COME INTO EFFECT.

The law can come into effect whenever they want it to and the sites need to have their filtering systems ready and tested before that happens for them to be effective:
