I don't understand how could any Canadians thought Meta not removing the news link. They are for-profit company. If the cost exceeds the benefit, they'll sure to chose the cheapest solution. Disabling the link for finite list of news domains? That's not that hard.

Meta isn't a pirate company believing all the information must be preserved. It has a history of complying the law by deleting posts. Be it copyright infringement, child porn, privacy information or national security, they deleted it.
