“news” … “content” … both terms used loosely when talking Instagram.
Yeah, trash article.
But that’s the norm.
Trusted news platform Instagram
I didn’t know Instagram was Canada’s sole source of news. You learn something new every day.
Trying to post content just to help out and keep things going sure is a job for bots that don’t have to deal with responses
There’s literally no other source. It’s an information desert the entire day.

We might have to ban it too if Canada is going to charge the instance owners for every Canadian news story posted
I don’t think that’s how it works; I thought that it was news aggregators run by the site itself; so like, “Google News” or an official account on an app posting.
Anyway this isn’t going to end well for Canada. This is like owing a newspaper money because you showed someone the way to the newsstand.
Lemmy is not turning a profit, so it does not apply.
The instance owner shouldn’t be subject to Canadian law if they are not living in or doing business in Canada. Canada would have to block the instances.
That’s true, only Canadian instances would have to block Canadian news sites
RIP /c/news federated to lemmy.ca :(
Making themselves irrelevant for the win!
Oh no, … anyway …
Pretty sure we’ll be better than fine.
Oh my! What should I do to get this passed in my state?
Consuming news media is bad for mental health, this move is good news for Canadians.
