Meta platform announced that it will deprecate the &ldquo;Facebook News&rdquo; Feature, on Meta&rsquo;s social media app in the UK, France, and Germany, next December.
According to a <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2023/09/an-update-on-facebook-news-in-europe/">statement from Meta</a>, they explained the reason behind that decision saying, &ldquo;This is part of an ongoing effort to better align our investments to our products and services people value the most. As a company, we have to focus our time and resources on things people tell us they want to see more of on the platform, including short form video&rdquo;.
Meta added, "We know that&nbsp;people don&rsquo;t come to Facebook for news&nbsp;and political content &ndash; they come to connect with people and discover new opportunities, passions and interests. News makes up less than 3% of what people around the world see in their Facebook feed, so news discovery is a small part of the Facebook experience for the vast majority of people".
&ldquo;Facebook News&rdquo; is a dedicated tab in the bookmarks section that spotlights news, and while users will still be able to view news articles from European news publishers, Meta won&rsquo;t form new commercial deals for news content.
It&rsquo;s noteworthy that Meta blocked news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms for all users in Canada in response to a new law that requires Meta to pay news publishers.
