On this high-priority initiative, I partnered closely with product, policy and legal teams to support Instagram’s response to Bill C-18, Canada’s new Online News Act requiring platforms to pay for posting news. I facilitated inter-organizational (i.e., Facebook, Instagram, and Threads) discussions to clarify design implications of limiting Canadian news availability, ensuring our approach aligned with Meta’s corporate objectives, respected emerging regulations, and preserved the optimal user experience across apps. By serving as Instagram’s design liaison in these conversations, I helped shape a consistent user experience while balancing complex legal requirements and strategic business decisions.

Due to the confidential nature of this work, I’m unable to share certain details or full documentation. I’m happy to discuss relevant learnings and approaches in more detail privately if requested.
