What I would say is that if Canadians are unable to access mainstream news sources on popular social media networks like Facebook or Instagram, that certainly predisposes them to consuming alternative sources, which may be less trustworthy, may have lower editorial standards and may have opaque financing. I think that is a concern. At the same time, I don't think it's the only factor at play, but I do think it is one that is often underappreciated, so I would agree with your analysis here.
