In June 2023, the Canadian government introduced Bill C-18, the Online News Act, compelling digital giants, such as Meta and Google, to compensate news publishers for the use of their content. Meta responded to the bill by blocking all news links on Facebook Canada. Google reached a compensation deal with news publishers, and continues to allow access to news on its platform.
Some websites offered workarounds that redirected links, but Facebook blocked them. This website provides a different type of workaround that transforms a news link into a Bing search with only one result. Facebook will not block Bing.
