Do media aggregators have a duty to provide links to public news sources in emergencies? (www.cbc.ca)

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.

I hate that all our local stuff is on ~~Twitter~~ X.

It was acceptable when it was Twitter, after the Musk acquisition there’s no trust in the platform so I don’t get it anymore. They even made tweets private and these local governments are still on there!

Thanks, strikethrough seems different in every markdown implementation.
