This is exactly what they did in Australia for about a week, then they backed down when the government wouldn't.

In Australia's case, it was only after concessions were added that Facebook reinstated news on the platform.

Canada has taken a harder stance on the law, and it doesn't look like either side is planning on accepting a compromise anytime soon.

That article was sadly very sparse on what the concessions actually were.

I've heard we can get news in other places. Facebook only has one group of humans to prey on for clicks.
