Google will remove news links from its products for Canadian audiences due to the passage of the government's Bill C-18 into law which requires Google to make commercial deals with news media.
Meta has announced that it will cut access to news for the Canadian users as the company refused to go along with the government's plan to have social media companies pay publishers for news articles.
