This isn't reddit, did you even glance at the article? Your entire comment is misinformation lol
Of course I did - they threatened to ban news in Canada. I don't see how stating the obvious is misinformation.
I don't appreciate the knee-jerk condescension that I've been seeing less of here than on reddit. Just be nice.
Facebook hasn't "literally [backed out] of Australia", the article covers that. You may not appreciate the condescension but I mean, you're doubling down now on a false premise and refusing to acknowledge the actual specifics of the situation, I'm not sure what you expect when you're seemingly knowingly spreading misinformation.
Facebook blocked news on their platform in Australia. Everybody in this sub knows it's in regards to news if you're implying I'm claiming that their entire service was unavailable. This is like the smallest possible of hairs to split.
that's not what I'm implying at all, you're very good at trolling in terms of eliciting a response. for the lazy, from the article (emphasis mine):
you apparently know that facebook isn't currently blocking news in Aus as per your other comment regarding "immendments", so I'm done feeding the trolls
Yes, I totally agree! As you cited, Facebook blocked news on their platform in Aus (as I phrased it, backed out) after their legislation was passed. And now it's possible that they do the same in Canada. I don't understand why you're hounding me and accusing me of spreading misinformation. Toxic.
I genuinely think I'm being trolled here at this point so I'm going to stop engaging/replying to comments. Have a nice day.
