Canada just passed legislation forcing Google and face book to pays for each showing (or redirecting?) of a Canadian news url. The law aims at redistributing money from internet giants back to news sites. Google and Facebook are threatening to just outright stop including Canadian news URL.
It's a bold move from the government, I'm not for how I feel about it.
I hope other countries follow. Google and especially Bing with chatgpt are stealing a lot right now
Apparently, from articles I read about the Canadian law, Australia tried something similar but fang got it reversed.
The problem is that Canada is a small market. FANG doesn't need the revenue from it but they would hate for these laws to become popular so they'll try to make an example out of Canada.
