Meta faces backlash over Canada news block as wildfires rage
In Canada, Meta is accused of putting lives in danger by obstructing news links at a critical time when thousands have evacuated their homes and are in need of wildfire updates that once would have been extensively disseminated on Facebook. Nearly 20,000 people in Yellowknife and hundreds more in tiny towns were told to leave the Northwest Territories as flames spread, according to 35-year-old Kelsey Worth, who described the situation as "dangerous."
