BREAKING: Meta to block news on Facebook, Instagram for Canadian users as Bill C-18 passes in Senate
The Senate has passed the bill in a final vote and it is now awaiting royal assent amid a standoff between the Liberal government and Silicon Valley tech giants.
Meta would not offer details about the timeline for that move, but said it will pull local news from its site before the online news act takes effect. The bill will come into force six months after it receives royal assent. Rodriguez had meetings with both Facebook and Google this week, but his department didn't disclose details.
Meta is already undergoing a test that blocks news for up to five per cent of its Canadian users, and Google ran a similar test earlier this year.
