Instagram blocks Rebel News pages in response to C-18
In response to the Liberal government's shakedown on behalf of failing media companies Meta, the parent company of both Facebook and Instagram, has begun blocking Canadian sites from some users.
The outages began Friday night when some users reported a message on Rebel News accounts which read, "content from news organizations cannot be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation."
Our Instagram pages have been blocked due to the Trudeau Liberals passing Bill C-18.

C-18 is part of a slate of legislation brought forward by the liberal government to regulate the Internet. Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, forces broadcasters, including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Netflix, and others, to comply with Canadian Radio-television Commission requirements to pay for the creation of Canadian content and forces these platforms to boost Canadian content to Canadian viewers.
