Spitballing here, but perhaps the argument could be made that news posted by a Canadian news organization to Instagram might potentially-count as news they need to be paid for if it's shown to other users on that platform? Not sure whether it has to be content that's directly hosted on their own website...

The news organization's Instagram profile -- which contains a link to their website -- would almost certainly count as content to be paid for.

I mean, I'm sure Meta is motivated to pick an expansive reading of the bill in order to pressure the Canadian government, but what you describe doesn't sound inherently outside the bounds of "we want to avoid all activities that we're required to pay you for".

Reading the text of the law it would count as news if it ties to any issue or event of public interest. I'm actually having difficulty thinking of a post by a large organization that wouldn't fall under that definition.
