I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:

People in Canada can’t view this content.

Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.

These previews are almost always specified by the website themself, using the OpenGraph protocol. The website is literally asking other services to “use this for the preview’s image, and this block of text for the description, please!”
