A new survey suggests that most Canadians feel news should be free and accessible for anyone, while also believing that media will find other ways to make money.

News should absolutely be free, and freely available.
It being on Facebook is not either of those things, though.
Hence the current policy of not allowing news on Facebook Canada. Guess what, it’s not benefiting anybody.
News is allowed, just not links to third-party media outlets. I notice the local CTV reporter has started posting the news directly on Facebook rather than linking into CTV like he used to do. Which is fine – who on Facebook wants to leave Facebook in the first place? Users use Facebook because they want to use Facebook, not painful third-party websites that have paid no attention to UX.
