The National Post reports in its Friday, Aug. 11, edition that satirical websites are getting caught up in Meta's quest to remove all news from its Facebook and Instagram platforms in Canada. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that Luke Gordon Field, editor-in-chief of The Beaverton, says the site's satirical content began getting blocked from Canadians this week. He says most of his website's traffic comes from Facebook, and it would be a disaster if access is not restored. Scott Slute, who runs the satirical site The Toronto Harold, had his content blocked by Meta last month. Mr. Slute says he contacted Meta and the company determined the removal of the content was an error. Meta says its phased approach to removing news sites from its platforms aims to ensure the process works as expected. However, the change means police services across Canada are grappling with how they will relay emergency information, including breaking news and details of missing persons. The Saskatchewan RCMP said Meta's decision will affect the way they get information to the public. In Manitoba, the RCMP said it will get important information out to the public through its own social media accounts.
