Leaving all Meta products last year was easier than I thought...no reason to remain
In Canada, Meta blocks a news channel for kids...while simultaneously preying upon them.
There is no end to the grossness of Mark Zuckerberg's empire.
P.S. I know why Meta blocks news, but this is an overreach at best.
