The Online News Act, also known as C-18, recently passed in Canada&#8217;s legislative body, and it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-court-deals-major-blow-to-big-tech-and-sets-up-scotus-to-restore-free-speech\/\" title=\"Federal Court Deals Major Blow To Big Tech And Sets Up SCOTUS To Restore Free Speech\">requires tech companies<\/a> like Google to share profits with news outlets. In response, Google has decided to remove links to Canadian news from its Search, News, and Discover products in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>This decision by Google follows in the footsteps of Facebook, which has also expressed its opposition to the bill. The move by these tech giants could serve as a glimpse into how they might respond if the similarly-written Journalism Competition and Preservation Act is passed by Congress.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Unprecedented Law Creates Uncertainty<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;C-18 is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/major-teachers-union-sues-rhode-island-mother-who-asked-questions-about-curriculum\/\" title=\"Major Teacher\u2019s Union Sues Rhode Island Mother Who Asked Questions about Curriculum\">unprecedented law<\/a> that creates a link tax \u2014 a price on web links \u2014 and creates an untenable level of product and financial uncertainty that no business could accept,&#8221; stated Kent Walker, Google&#8217;s president of global affairs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While Google has not yet announced a specific date for implementing these restrictions, it is expected to align with the effective date of C-18, which will occur within the next 180 days after a regulatory review. However, non-Canadian users will still be able to access Canadian news outlets through Google Search.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook&#8217;s parent company, Meta, has also expressed its intention to restrict access to news in protest of C-18. However, Canadian leadership seems unfazed by Meta&#8217;s threat, and it remains to be seen how they will respond to Google&#8217;s actions.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in the United States, Congress is considering the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, which bears similarities to the Canadian legislation. Meta has already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/meta-threatens-to-stop-sharing-news-if-canada-enacts-regulatory-bill\/\" title=\"Meta may stop sharing news if Canada passes regulatory bill.\">made similar threats<\/a> in response to this bill. Although the Senate Judiciary Committee has approved the bill, it is expected to face resistance in the House.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that Meta previously banned the sharing and viewing of news stories in Australia after the country passed a law requiring the company to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/meta-threatens-to-pull-news-out-of-california-over-journalism-bill\/\" title=\"Meta may withdraw news from California due to journalism bill.\">pay news outlets<\/a> for their content. However, this ban was reversed shortly after international pressure.<\/p>\n<p>As the battle between tech giants and news outlets continues, the future of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/google-says-it-will-remove-links-to-canadian-news-in-response-to-journalism-bill\/\" title=\"Google plans to eliminate Canadian news links due to journalism bill.\">online news distribution remains uncertain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google boycotts Canadian news outlets over C-18 legislation, refusing to share profits.
