False. Australia is the example often cited, but Australia caved and elected not to apply the law to Google and Facebook. Instead, Facebook and Google made deals outside of the law.
These deals were surely larger than their earlier deals, but small enough they could live with them. The terms were never published.
Seeing how misperception of this led directly to the Canadian law, my suspicion is Meta is now done with the charade lest others copy it, and will keep news out unless the law is repealed.
There are, to my knowledge, zero countries where Meta engaged in a forced negotiation framework such as the Canadian law. If you disagree, could you please name one?

- ehnto 3y agoSorry if I wasn't clear, I was suggesting that Facebook has yet to comply to these kinds of rules directly and as you noted for Australia, they made their own deal.
