Google and Meta are demanding changes to the new online news regime. The Online News Act will require them to provide compensation to Canadian news organizations if they carry news on their platforms. Meta has stopped serving news to Canadians—and Google has threatened to do the same—if changes are not made. Draft regulations designed, unsuccessfully, to mollify them would allow non-monetary compensation to satisfy the requirement to provide compensation.
Such incentives could erode quality public-interest news reporting in favour of platform addiction and clickbait. Further, Meta and Google could encourage or require data practices that would facilitate the sale of ads on their platforms.
