Interesting question. The tech giant had voiced concern about "serious structural issues with C-18 that regrettably were not dealt with during the legislative process," and has called the bill a "link tax" that "breaks the way the web and search engines have worked for more than 30 years," and may expose them to "uncapped financial liability."What does Google have to censor to get a deal?

I've hone to a few sites that will not allow me to repost any Canadian POV's so ya, it's happening. We'll have to rely more on independent news which is more accurate & factual anyway. Wonder how long this will be allowed by our tyrannical gov'tReuters reported in August that data from different independent tracking firms showed Meta blocking news links on its platforms in Canada “had almost no impact on Canadians’ usage of Facebook.”
And when pressed on what should be inferred from the data showing Meta blocking Canadian news from its platforms hasn’t affected the company’s bottom line, St-Onge (Pascale St-Onge, Canada’s heritage minister) said the tech giant should still negotiate with the government as Google did….because…?
Laventure (Meta spokesperson Lisa Laventure) reiterated the company’s stance that pulling Canadian news entirely from its platforms is “the only way (to) reasonably comply with the Online News Act.”
The legislation comes into effect on Dec. 19. End result? More government control of the directions that Canadians receive their news from?
