Do media aggregators have a duty to provide links to public news sources in emergencies?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/nwt-wildfire-evacuation-meta-blocking-news-1.6939286The NWT government and city of Yellowknife are describing in tweets, Instagram messages etc. how to search key evacuation information on CPAC and CBC. The broadcast carriers have a duty to carry emergency information, but Meta and X are blocking links.
While internet access is reportedly limited in Yellowknife, residents are finding this a barrier to getting current and accurate information. Even links to CBC radio are blocked.
