Meta is poised to make a significant move that carries significant implications for news organizations and social media users.

The bill seeks to support Canada's struggling journalism industry, as digital giants currently extract the majority of online ad revenues from the shared content.
During a session with the House of Commons heritage committee this week, Meta reaffirmed its earlier threat. Kevin Chan, the global policy director of the multinational tech company, expressed the need for transparency regarding the potential necessity to reconsider allowing the sharing of news content on Facebook in Canada due to the proposed legislation.
