Meta is so unwilling to pay for news under a new Canadian law that it's starting to block it on Facebook and Instagram in that country::The rollout of the news ban on Facebook and Instagram for users in Canada will take place over the next few weeks.

No, we've been watching how this sort of nonsense plays out for decades. If what you want to do is not contemplated by the regulatory deal, then it'll end up illegal.

What exempts small sites?

Why do you think that loophole won't be closed in the future?

The literal language of the law exempts small sites.
