Personal anecdote
Recently I've been having trouble sharing any news related post on Instagram. Its not just Canadian news agencies, its anything news like.
Meanwhile I can share low quality spam just fine.

I was just saying in another thread how we live in a corporate feudal state, and Zuckerberg is a tiny lord with terrible fashion and interior decorating sense.

@otter Now it makes sense!
Today I got notice on Facebook that several of my posts from last year were removed for violating community standards on cybersecurity—they were all links to articles from The Reflector.
Jerks.

So, you know what to do - post it on every site you can find and tell your friends.

Well that's a great way to get other outlets reporting on this news that is then harder to suppress and which more people on FB will now see.
I could've just said "Streisand effect" but I think the mechanisms are interesting.

OP: If you're in Canada, Meta banned news there entirely

Oh I must have missed this, it includes international orgs too. What's weird is that I can still view and like those posts, but I can't share them consistently.
I'll assume that's a good thing, and either their implementation sucks or some privacy related configuration of mine is helping.
