OTTAWA — Google will stop blocking news links next week following a five-week test that limited access to news for some Canadian users, the company confir
The test began in early February and affected users were prevented from seeing news links on Google’s search engine and Discover panel on Android phones.
“I want to underline that these are just tests. No decisions have been made about product changes. We’re simply doing our due diligence in the most responsible way possible,” said Jason Kee, public policy manager for Google. Sabrina Geremia said the bill, which would put a price on free links to web pages that produce news, sets a dangerous precedent that threatens the open web and free flow of information.
Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu raised a similar concern, saying the bill could cause misinformation and clickbait to be more prominent on the web.
