Why Canada is the testing ground for the launch of technological novelties.
For large companies to choose Canada to test their innovations is no longer news.
- Only the person who makes a publication will be able to see how many "likes" he receives.
Facebook, owner of Instagram, plans with this novelty that people worry more about the content of the publications than for the popularity achieved by them. How can you download videos from Facebook to your cell phone or computer.
The social network directed by Mark Zuckerberg chose Canada to test this novelty for considering Canadians highly active in the use of Instagram.
Of the nearly 36 million inhabitants, 24 million use Instagram. And it's not the first time that Canada has become the Facebook test platform.
Already last year, along with Colombia and Thailand, Canadians enjoyed access to Facebook Dating, the online dating platform of the popular social network.
And in 2017 they also tried very early on Facebook's foray into advertising transparency.
• Facebook announces the biggest changes in 5 years with redesign and new features in response to criticism for privacy.
But the social media giant is not the only company that uses Canada as a testing ground before launching its innovations to the global market.
Application designers constantly use the North American country as an experiment.
