Meta Platforms announced that it will discontinue its social media app’s “Facebook News” feature in the UK, France, and Germany later this year. Despite this change, users can still view news articles through links, and European news publishers will maintain access to their Facebook accounts and pages. However, Meta will not enter into new commercial deals for news content or provide product innovations for news publishers in these countries. The decision comes as Meta faces increasing pressure to share a higher percentage of its advertising revenue with news publishers. In response to new laws in Canada and Australia, Meta has already begun blocking news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms.
