Paul Stenhouse: Messenger Supervision Tools and Meta blocking news links in Canada

What are your kids up to on Instagram and Messenger - you can now find out more than ever  Just how much time are they spending chatting to friends? The new "Messenger Supervision Tools" will show that and lots more. Parents will be able to see contacts lists, who messages with their child and who can see their Stories. They can't however see the actual messages themselves. These are available now in the USA, Canada and UK. Will roll out globally over time.   Over on Instagram, if a kid isn't following someone and they try to send a message, they'll get an invite to connect before any photos or videos can be received, or calls are connected.    An update about Meta blocking links to news sites in Canada  Well Google is doing the same now. It'll be removing all news content from Google Search, and Google news. They haven't said if links to stories about Canada from foreign publishers would be allowed. Google is calling the Online News Act "unworkable" - especially because it forces the tech companies to the negotiating table with no guidelines on what a reasonable deal should be valued at.    LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
