Unlike in Canada, where the company has blocked news content to protest a law that would compel it to pay publishers in the country, Meta says news organizations can continue to post links, Reels and so on to Facebook in those three territories. Users shouldn’t have any issues with accessing news content there either. According to Meta, this effort is to funnel resources toward services and products users care more about, and the changes are set to take effect in early December. Meta says it will honour existing Facebook News deals with publishers in the UK, France and Germany. However, it won’t renew those pacts or enter into new ones in those countries. Moreover, the company doesn’t “expect to offer new Facebook products specifically for news publishers in the future.” As news content currently comprises less than three per cent of the content displayed in users’ Facebook feeds, Meta asserts that users are primarily focused on short-form videos, connecting with others, and discovering opportunities, interests, and passions
