Luke Gordon Field, editor in chief of The Beaverton, said the blocking prompted him to act. The Beaverton never formally asked Meta to review its decision but Field said he believes the outcry, plus the changes to its Facebook information, pushed Meta to lift the ban. In an interview with CBC Toronto later, Field said The Beaverton advised Facebook that we were in fact satirists, liars, miscreants, tricksters. We're a creature of social media, Field told CBC Radio. Last week, CBC joined other new publishers in requesting Canada's Competition Bureau to investigate the news blocking.
