- Facebook (FB -1.1%) is looking at potential news licensing deals in Canada, Reuters reports.
- That comes ahead of legislation along the lines of Australia's, that would force tech companies to pay publishers for content.
- But a source tells Reuters that Facebook is viewing Australia's situation as unique - dominated by a media conglomerate (News Corp.) that has an outsize effect on government and policy.
- Facebook yesterday pledged $1B in investment to support local journalism, part of an announcement that it "erred in the side of over-enforcement" on an Australian news block it executed in protest of the legislation there.
