In regards to Meta and now Google's decision about blocking Canadian news, I am angry that they consider their business above the law.
IF Canadians with pages decided to start reporting each and EVERY paid advertising published on their Facebook feed, we could effectively use our collective Canadianism to hit the pockets of Meta. You can do this by blocking ads on your page:
All you have to do is to
1. Leave a message on the ad that you will be blocking them to protest Mega's blocking of Canadian news on Facebook and Instagram, and state that you're reporting it as "Canadian news". Then wait for a few minutes for it to get placed on their feed.
2. On the top of the ad, tap the three dots beside the X at the top of the ad. Scroll down to "Report this ad" and choose one of the selections that will cause Facebook to take some time to look at the ad, and when/if asked why you are reporting it, use two words...."Canadian News".
3. Submit your reason.
Do the same in Instagram.
Start using DuckDuckgo as your search engine in your browsers. That can be changed in the browser settings.
Install the duckduckgo app on your phones and devices. Make it your default browser.
Send this out to your contacts by email.
Copy and repost this on your page if you feel the same. Together, we can make a difference against censorship and the dictatorship of the likes of Meta and Google. They appear to be trying to colonialize Canada and Canadians with the US.
As Canadians, let's give these mammoth companies the silence they are enforcing on Canadians.
