Facebook says it could still ban Canadians from sharing news as government eyes regulation
Facebook is not ruling out banning Canadians from sharing news on its platform and says it will voluntarily report revenues and promote journalism in the country ahead of what could be a contentious regulatory battle with Ottawa.
The company made the controversial decision to remove news sharing on its platform in Australia just as that country moved to make digital platforms pay news organizations for content.

Facebook pledges $8 million for journalism in Canada days before top exec to testify before MPs
Facebook has announced $8 million for journalism in Canada ahead of a hearing at a parliamentary committee next week where the company is expected to face questions about its decision to block users from sharing news in Australia.

In a statement on Friday, the company said the cash would go toward extending the Facebook-Canadian Press News Fellowship through to 2024, a boost for the country’s news wire service.

Sheryl Sandberg and Top Facebook Execs Silenced an Enemy of Turkey to Prevent a Hit to the Company’s Business
As Turkey launched a military offensive against Kurdish minorities in neighboring Syria in early 2018, Facebook’s top executives faced a political dilemma.
Turkey was demanding the social media giant block Facebook posts from the People’s Protection Units, a mostly Kurdish militia group the Turkish government had targeted. Should Facebook ignore the request, as it has done elsewhere, and risk losing access to tens of millions of users in Turkey? Or should it silence the group, known as the YPG, even if doing so added to the perception that the company too often bends to the wishes of authoritarian governments?
In ‘very significant’ move for Canada, Facebook reinstates news sharing in Australia
Canadian media organizations are heralding Facebook’s decision to back away from its news sharing ban in Australia as a win for financially struggling news publishers across the world.
Australia has been at the front-line of governments pushing to make digital platforms pay for journalism and Facebook’s decision is “very significant” for Canada, said John Hinds, president of News Media Canada, a lobbying group.
“I think once these agreements have been made, and once the platforms agree in principle, it really is about moving to the mechanisms of how it’s going to be applied in Canada,” said Hinds, who supports Canada’s adopting a model like Australia’s.
I dunno, this doesn’t sound like much of a win.
