The government has been in a stand\u002Doff with Google and Meta over a bill to force the tech giants to share revenues with news publishers
Google blocked some Canadians’ access to news on its platforms in what the company said was a temporary test in response to Bill C-18. Last week, MPs from all major political parties admonished Google for the tests, and for not providing requested documents, at a meeting of the Heritage committee. Shortly afterwards, Meta said it would remove news content from Facebook and Instagram if Bill C-18 passes unchanged.
The Liberal motion also asked Meta to provide three years’ worth of internal and external communications relating to options it considered taking in response to Canadian regulation, among other documents.Fight between tech giants and Ottawa over paying for news could have global impacts It cites the “dominant market position of Meta and Google and each company’s recent actions in Canada which appear to be attempts to intimidate Parliament and which follow a pattern of repeated subversive tactics used by tech giants across the world to prevent accountability.”
