New US Justice Dept policy cracks down on social media posts

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump's administration has ordered U.S. Justice Department employees not to post anything on social media related to their government work, after a wave of new political appointees took to cheerleading Trump and castigating his opponents online. The directive, which was emailed to U.S. Attorneys' offices late on Monday, appears to prohibit the types of social posts that Trump's political appointees routinely make on their official government accounts. The change was made by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has become frustrated by some of the rhetoric being posted by political appointees, according to one person familiar with the matter.

Meta news ban intensifying Canadians' legacy media break

As Canada heads into an election this month, voters looking for campaign news on Facebook or Instagram will find material filtered through online creators and influencers -- and no links to articles from major media outlets.
The article from Legit.ng discusses the impact of Meta's decision to block news content on its platforms in Canada, following the implementation of the Online News Act. This legislation requires tech giants like Meta to compensate news publishers for their content. As a result, Canadians are increasingly turning to alternative news sources, with a notable shift towards independent media outlets. The ban has intensified the struggle for legacy media, which is already facing challenges such as declining ad revenues and readership. The article highlights that while some see the ban as a blow to traditional journalism, others view it as an opportunity for smaller, independent media to gain prominence. The situation underscores the ongoing tension between tech companies and news organizations over content monetization and distribution.
