National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views. Make it a daily habit.
OTTAWA — Advocates for the print and digital media industry say Google is disrespecting Canadian readers by temporarily blocking news to some of its users.Google confirmed on Wednesday that it's blocking less than four per cent of Canadian users from viewing news content in a five-week test run of a potential response to the Liberal government's online news bill.
Bill C-18 would require digital giants such as Google and Meta, which owns Facebook, to negotiate deals to compensate Canadian media companies for displaying or providing links to their news content.Its executive director Marla Boltman says Google is pursuing money at all costs, rather than co-operating with lawmakers around the world to support and sustain the free press and democracy.
