As you may know, CBC news content is disappearing from Instagram and Facebook in Canada. 

Meta had been signalling this move was coming after the Canadian government passed its Online News Act, Bill C-18, in June. Bill C-18 requires big tech giants like Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms.

The social media giant says it has officially begun ending news availability on its platforms in Canada starting Aug. 1.
