Extra! Extra! is a central hub for Canadians to access news. It was born from necessity after major social networks banned news from their platforms in response to the Online News Act. This bill requires the largest social platforms to compensate media outlets for using their content.
This unprecedented ban left a critical gap in Canadians' access to news, leaving many unaware of current events. Extra! Extra! is our stopgap solution, a feed-style aggregator and social media account where individuals can find up-to-date posts from reputable sources and direct links to full stories. With Extra! Extra!, users can stay informed, ensuring that essential information remains easily accessible to all Canadians.
