"Bizarre" is too mild a word for how Meta treats Canadians.

I've never seen a company exploit "customers" like this (to the tune of $16B in scams), and I'm not sure why it's allowed.

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.
