The Online News Act forces tech giants such as Meta to pay to display news links
Meta has responded to new legislation passed in Canada yesterday by removing news content from both Facebook and Instagram.
“Today, we are confirming that news availability will be ended on Facebook and Instagram for all users in Canada prior to the Online News Act taking effect,” the“We have repeatedly shared that in order to comply with Bill C-18, passed today in Parliament, content from news outlets, including news publishers and broadcasters, will no longer be available to people accessing our platforms in Canada.”
Google has hit back at the law, arguing that the act puts a price on news story links displayed in search results and it can apply to websites that do not produce news. The Californian search giant has not announced plans to cut off news in Canada but it did test blocking content back in February.Authorities in Canada want to address declining ad revenues for publishers inside Canada, the act was modeled on similar legislation passed in Australia two years ago.
