To even use #Xpro / #Tweetdeck I must have this. No. I will not pay you #Elon a cent to use something that was free and very powerful as opposed by your weaker/buggier version of Tweetdeck. ( #Twitter / #X )
I am completely cut off from seeing news on #Meta / #Facebook / #instagram because of the laws up here in #Canada
So a lot of things that are extremely useful here, have been #Cut off from me, and thousands of fellow #Canadians
We're effectively screwed.
@blissfulmun If I may, it's not our laws, it's Meta/Twitter/etc refusal to abide by our laws. Australia has similar laws. These private corporations have chosen to play by the rules as laid out by elected government down under. Here they refuse.
Canadian news is accessible here on Mastadon by searching #cdnpoli.
You can also find news outlets like @thetyee @thenarwhal among others here. Also try @Flipboard

A #correction - #Google, #Facebook et al are not "refusing to abide by our #laws". They are not in #violation of our laws.
We passed a law that says "If you #link to #Canadian #news #sites, you must #pay a link #tax".
So they have a choice: continue to link to Canadian news sites (and pay for the privilege), or stop linking to Canadian news sites. There is no #third #option.
We made them choose; don't be mad they made a choice.

Thank you for the clarification, still sucks that my main place for news is kinda toasted.
