Question: I’m guessing this blocking is all based off of IP address, can anyone confirm?

If so, does a VPN with (say) a US endpoint get around it?

    People shouldn’t be getting their news from places that manipulate algorithms to prevent you from seeing a full spectrum of information anyways.

    This is a good thing for Canadians, even if it seems inconvenient ATM.

      I agree. My first reaction when it broke about them blocking news was ‘I don’t see them or use them as a news aggregator anyway, so who cares’; let them take their click bait promotion and dwell time algorithms elsewhere.

        Right? I got Facebook years ago to see pictures of my friends’ cats and tell fart jokes, not to argue about the news.
