Meta is charging government and nonprofit pages to post links on Facebook
The new restrictions are a test which is explicitly not supposed to impact these entities.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Meta adding restrictions or charges around Facebook Pages posting links, with the basic policy change central in each headline. NPR frames it as a broader explanation piece, asking why Meta is charging for more hyperlinks and emphasizing the tension around keeping users on-site. Engadget is the only outlet here that explicitly says the new restrictions are a test and notes they are not supposed to affect government and nonprofit pages.
