Google is blocking some Canadian users from viewing news content in response to the Liberal government's online news bill.

The logo of Google is displayed on a carpet at the entrance hall of Google France in Paris Monday, Nov. 18, 2019. Google says it is blocking some Canadian users from viewing news content in response to the Liberal government's controversial online news bill

The company said Wednesday that it is temporarily limiting access to news content for under four per cent of its Canadian users as it assesses possible responses to the bill. The change applies to its ubiquitous search engine as well as the Discover feature on Android devices, which carries news and sports stories.

The company runs thousands of tests each year to assess any potential changes to its search engine, he added.
