Since December, Facebook users in the UK, the France and Germany will no longer see the News section.
The Meta he said on Tuesday that it plans to "remove" the News tab on Facebook starting in early December for users in these European countries as "part of an ongoing effort to better align our investments with the products and services people value most" (very elegant…).
The company said it plans to spend more time and money on short-form videos, in a product (Reels) similar to its TikTok service.
News accounts for less than 3% of what people see in their Facebook feeds, Meta reported.
The company said it would honor the Facebook News commitments it had made for publishers in those countries, but said it would not enter into new deals and has no plans to offer new products for news publishers.
Τον Ιούνιο, η Meta αφαίρεσε όλο το περιεχόμενο ειδήσεων από το Facebook και το Instagram για τους χρήστες στον Καναδά, μετά την ψήφιση ενός νομοσχεδίου που απαιτεί από τις μεγάλες Companies τεχνολογίας να πληρώνουν τις επιχειρήσεις ειδήσεων όταν το περιεχόμενό τους διατίθεται στις υπηρεσίες τους.
