SIGN UP FOR KTW’S FREE NEWSLETTER

Google and Meta (parent company of Facebook) have vowed to block Canadian news links and content from their platforms in response to the federal government’s Online News Act (Bill C-18), which requires the companies to pay Canadian media outlets for posting or linking to their news content.

TODAY’S FLYERS

The law will come into effect at the end of the year, but both Google and Meta have been experimenting with blocking access to Canadian news on their respective sites, as some users in Kamloops and across Canada may have experienced.

This serves as an ideal time to remind readers of KTW to sign up for our free newsletter, emailed to subscribers every weekday morning.

It includes local news you need to know, links to other great reads and an assortment of interesting facts. Sign up now at kamloopsthisweek.com/account/mailinglist
