Facebook and Google pulled out of news after that law was passed. They only returned when Australian publishers agreed to negotiate outside the law. For France, the devil is in the details. Google has agreements to fund news in many countries. This is generally a bribe it pays publishers not to pursue laws like this. Whereas the Canadian law seeks fairly unlimited payments. So the question in the French case is how much Google could actually be forced to pay. It sounds like they can still accept an unreasonable deal. https://www.politico.eu/article/french-competition-authority-greenlights-google-pledges-over-paying-news-publishers/ https://www.politico.eu/article/french-competition-authority...
