Is getting news from Facebook any different from getting news from reddit? Does reddit need to pay the same tax?

Not yet, but probably. Meta makes money hands over fist, so the government and their friends in the media were hoping to pump them for cash first. They’ll keep looking around for new sources of cash and their attention might eventually land on Reddit.

It sounds like any link aggregator could be cut off from posting Canadian news links
