By Ismail Shakil and Zaheer KachwalaOTTAWA (Reuters) -Canadian news industry groups on Tuesday asked the country's antitrust regulator to investigate Meta Platforms' decision to block news on its platforms in the country, accusing the Facebook parent of abusing its dominant position. Meta started blocking news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms for all users in Canada last week in response to a law requiring internet giants to pay for news articles. The application was filed by industry bodies News Media Canada and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters, along with public broadcaster CBC/Radio-Canada, and asks the Competition Bureau to investigate Meta and stop it from blocking news. Story continuesA Meta spokesperson referred to a statement issued last week, in which the company said the Canadian law was based on "the incorrect premise that Meta benefits unfairly from news content shared on our platforms." Google has also said it will block news in Canada by the time the rules come into effect.

News Media Canada, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters and CBC/Radio-Canada (“the applicants”) have applied to Canada’s Competition Bureau to investigate Meta’s abuse of its dominant position, as evidenced by its decision to block news content from its digital platforms in Canada. Meta’s practices are clearly designed to discipline Canadian news companies, prevent them from participating in and accessing the advertising market, and significantly reduce their visibility to Canadians on social media channels. Meta’s anticompetitive conduct, which has attracted the attention of regulators around the world, will strengthen its already dominant position in advertising and social media distribution and harm Canadian journalism. Through Facebook and Instagram, which together account for more than 70 per cent of the online social media market in Canada, Meta effectively has substantial control over access to Canadian news. The applicants ask the Competition Bureau to use its investigative and prosecutorial tools to protect competition and prohibit Meta from continuing to block Canadians’ access to news content.

By Ng Weng HoongWhat is Canada really hoping to uncover from the impending much-hyped inquiry into foreign interference in its politics? If Nijjar’s murder is indeed tied to the Khalistan cause, Canada too would have to confront it as a foreign interference issue. Representatives of both countries have accused each other of engaging in “foreign interference” in their respective domestic politics. O’Toole and Kwan fared no better either, repeating the “foreign interference” and “foreign threat” mantra with little evidence for backup. Canada itself was a creation of foreign interference when English and French colonizers seized North America from its indigenous peoples.

Underlining the dichotomy Canadian News organizations are experiencing in the latest move in the war Canadian News organizations are waging with social media, News Media Canada, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters and CBC/Radio-Canada have applied to Canada’s Competition Bureau to investigate Meta’s decision to block news content from its digital platforms in Canada. A news release announcing the application reads, in part, “Meta’s practices are clearly designed to discipline Canadian news companies, prevent them from participating in and accessing the advertising market, and significantly reduce their visibility to Canadians on social media channels. The application underlines the love-hate relationship between Canadian media and the social media giants. While the news media resent seeing their content forming a significant part of the social media offering for free, they also rely on distribution on the same social media to enhance their own online audience and bolster revenue. The Canadian bill stipulates that to qualify for compensation, a news organization must employ two journalists, which pretty much excludes hundreds of proprietor-only websites.

The majority are clustered southwest of the Nunavik region and were listed as under control.

Chinese and Russian vessels that recently operated near the Aleutian Islands should serve as a wake-up call to increase funding for military capabilities in the region, Alaska Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan said in a joint statement on Saturday. “The incursion by 11 Chinese and Russian warships operating together – off the coast of Alaska – is yet another reminder that we have entered a new era of authoritarian aggression led by the dictators in Beijing and Moscow,” Sullivan said. While the Russian and Chinese ships did not enter American waters, they were closely monitored by four U.S. destroyers and P-8 Poseidon aircraft, the WSJ report said. “This is a stark reminder of Alaska’s proximity to both China and Russia, as well as the essential role our state plays in our national defense and territorial sovereignty,” she said. “Last summer the Chinese and Russian navies conducted a similar operation off the coast of Alaska,” he said.
