Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
What do you mean? The same people who get "news" from Facebook will still get "news" from Facebook. It will just no longer involve any actual media companies. Think blogger, pseudo-news and AI generated content - fake news gonna fake.
Also American news
No American or international news either, says Meta

And they'll have to go to actual sources to fact check.
Bold of you to assume that fact checking is even in the repertoire of the chud brained
My point is with this legislation we effectively removed news outlets from the "source pool", and all the remaining sources you can rely on Facebook is the questionable ones.
