OTTAWA :Google said on Thursday it plans to block Canadian news on its platform in Canada, joining Facebook in escalating a campaign against a new law requiring payments to local news publishers.
Canada's media industry has called for tighter regulation of internet giants to allow news businesses to recoup financial losses suffered in the years that Facebook and Google gained a greater share of the online advertising market. Facebook and Google said the proposals were unsustainable for their businesses and for months signaled possibly ending news availability in Canada unless the act was amended.
"This shows how deeply irresponsible and out of touch they are, especially when they make billions of dollars off of Canadian users." Google will also end a voluntary news program in Canada operated under agreements with 150 news publications across the country.
