Won't this just lead them to drop Canadian media from their platforms?

Meta has already removed any news link (might not be 100% active but the press release went out). The government was told this it seems, they thought FB and Google were bluffing -- even though there are many examples in Europe of this happening.

“Bluffing” is an irrelevant framing if you believe — as I do — that news publishers should be paid for their content.

Why do news sites include the meta tags in the HTML containing some of the content then if not for the express purpose of it being displayed on these sites?
