Corus joins growing Canadian boycott of Meta over news blocking
Bill C-18 forces big internet companies and streaming platforms to compensate Canadian news outlets for content appearing on their platforms.
“So, you know, if you take out those advertising dollars out of the Canadian economy, there aren’t the resources that are there to help support the news going forward.” Google says it will block Canadian news content when that happens. Meta has already begun running tests on how to end Canadian news sharing on its platforms. A statement from the company says it will block links prior to the legislation taking effect.Corus is the parent company for Global News, along with Canadian entertainment brands like Home and Garden Television , The History Channel, the Food Network and animation studio Nelvana.
The government spends about $10 million advertising on the platforms, Rodriguez said, and added that money will be shifted to other ad campaigns.
