Meta Platforms Inc. plans to stop promoting news content for people in three major European countries, the latest sign that the social network giant is trying to leave the industry behind.
The company will “deprecate” the news tab — a Facebook feature to prominently display news material — for users in the UK, Germany and France. “We know that people don’t come to Facebook for news and political content – they come to connect with people and discover new opportunities, passions and interests,” the company wrote in an unsigned blog post on Tuesday.
