Canada wildfire evacuees say Facebook’s news ban ‘dangerous’ in emergency situation::The ongoing fight between tech company Meta and the federal government over subsidizing news publishers means links to news sources are being blocked on sites like Facebook and Instagram. Wildfire evacuees in the Northwest Territories say that’s making it harder to share life-saving information during an emergency.
That’s pretty low bandwidth or reach, though. They need to come up with a modern solution already.
