OTTAWA, Ontario — Google said it will remove links to Canadian news on its platforms across Canada over a new law that will require digital giants to compensate media outlets for content they share or otherwise repurpose.
The tech giant said it will remove Canadian news links from Google News – a personalized aggregator service available by web or app that highlights local news – and from Google Discover, a feature on mobile phones that helps people find content.
Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez accused Google of trying to bully Canadians, but added that “big tech isn’t biggr than Canada.”
