Publisher with 25m Facebook followers loses key claim over Meta's 2020 shutdown

A Canadian online publisher suffered significant losses when Meta permanently removed its Facebook pages in 2020. The publisher, which had millions of followers, argued that this removal violated its business rights. Despite submitting numerous advertisements, many faced rejection for policy violations, which included misleading content. A court upheld Meta's decision, emphasizing its protection under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
