Trudeau Slams Facebook For Blocking Canada Wildfire News

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, centre, and Dennis King, third from left, Premier of Prince Edward Island, speak with parents before an announcement at the Island Montessori Academy in Cornwall, P.E.I., Canada on Monday, August 21, 2023. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday accused Facebook of putting profits over people’s safety during the emergencies created by Canada’s record wildfire season. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced earlier this summer it would keep its promise to block news content from Canada on its platforms because of a new law that requires tech giants to pay publishers for linking to or otherwise repurposing their content online. Fires raging in Canada have pushed tens of thousands of people from their homes and threatened cities such as Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories. About 30,000 people were under evacuation orders in British Columbia. Photo by Darren Calabrese/CP/ABACAPRESS.COM
