The 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.

So Lemmy instance admins should be paying for all the links on their sites too?

Are they directly making profit from it?

Well then, you've got your answer.

It is sad there are people like you who think everything is a transaction. Posting a link is a recommendation, it is no way stealing.

It's sadder that there's people like you who don't understand that there's a difference between posting a link and copying the whole article or a bot generated shorter version of it.
