National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views. Make it a daily habit.
OTTAWA — Some members of Parliament want to see Google in the hot seat over the tech company's move to temporarily block news access to some of its Canadian users.
Last week Google confirmed to The Canadian Press that it was limiting news access on its search engine to less than four per cent of its Canadian users. The bill would require digital giants such as Google and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, to negotiate deals to compensate Canadian media companies for displaying or providing links to their news content.
"Intimidation of this sort has become commonplace as tech giants push back against global accountability," the six MPs wrote in a letter to the committee's chair.
