Jeff Chiu/The Associated PressCanadian news companies say they’re worried about changes to Meta’s META-Q terms of service and want the company to clarify how they will be affected. Meta’s changes to its terms of service, first reported by Nieman Lab, led some to suggest the terms could allow scraping of websites associated with a business account for AI training purposes. Meta has now revised those terms but the anxiety has not abated. European and British publishers are asking governments and regulators to step in. Publishers’ association News Media Canada said in a statement that “like publisher associations everywhere, we’re very concerned and are seeking clarity.”The fact Meta blocked news content in Canada following the passage of the Online News Act in 2023 is creating additional uncertainty over how Canadian outlets could be affected by the new terms.

Fireblocks told Cointelegraph that reports of a potential $2.5 billion acquisition by Visa are “not true at present time,” while Visa declined to comment on the reported talks. Crypto custody and infrastructure provider Fireblocks is disputing a report that payments giant Visa is in late-stage talks to acquire the company for about $2.5 billion. “We are aware of the rumors about a possible acquisition of Fireblocks by Visa. This is news to us, and not true at present time,” a Fireblocks spokesperson told Cointelegraph on Thursday. Axios reported Thursday, citing multiple sources, that the payment giant was in advanced discussions to acquire Fireblocks for approximately $2.5 billion. The reported price would represent a steep discount from Fireblocks’ last publicly disclosed valuation of more than $8 billion, announced by the company following a $550 million Series E funding round in January 2022. Data provider Traxcn lists the $8 billion valuation as recently as Dec. 11, 2025.
