OUCH. Canada has enacted laws to require big tech companies that generate ad revenue while sharing links to stories from Canadian news outlets to compensate those publications, and the response of Google and Meta is… to start removing all Canadian news links from their pages.

That means Canadian news just won’t appear in Google searches. It spells disaster for Canadian journalism, all because they asked to share the profits from their work. https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-block-news-links-canada-over-law-paying-publishers-statement-2023-06-29/ #Canada #news #Google
