A group of Canadian news publishers and broadcasters want the Competition Bureau to investigate Metas blockage of news content. News Media Canada, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters and the CBC/Radio-Canada launched a joint application to investigate the abuse of their dominant position. The tech giant started the process last week to eliminate new availability for Canadians. It followed on with a pledge that it gave them up with the passage of Bill C-18. According to the Online News Act, it would make it easier for Meta and Google to pay for sharing of News content on their own platforms. The three applicants signed a joint statement that followed the metas practices to encourage Canadian news companies to become engaged in the advertising and thus take an edge in the advertising market. The following form – Facebook and Instagram – accounts for 70 percent of Canada's social media market. But Meta has argued that it's transparent about the ongoing concerns.
