Bill C-18, the Online News Act, would force Google and Facebook’s parent company, Meta, to share revenues with Canadian news publishers and broadcasters for the news articles that appear on the tech platforms. That revenue could fund nearly a third of news content creation in Canada. Postmedia, publisher of the National Post, is in favour of the legislation.
Facebook has also previously threatened to pull news content from its platform in response to the bill, which would force Google and Facebook to negotiate commercial deals with Canadian publishers. Google also ran tests affecting some Australian users’ access to news content before the Australian law took effect in March 2021.
Paul Deegan, president of the publishers’ association News Media Canada, called for the government to pull advertising from Google. Sen. Leo Housakos, who chairs the committee, said he expects the Senate to send the bill to committee in the coming weeks.
