> The act, which was known as Bill C-18, is designed to force Google and Facebook to share revenues with publishers for news stories that appear on their platforms. By removing news altogether, companies would be exempt from the legislation.
The bill is to make these websites share revenues with the source of the information. Not to stop people from getting news. It's Facebook who has a problem here.
