The Trudeau Liberals passed a law forcing Big Tech to compensate Canadian media outlets for content shared on their platforms. As predicted, Bill C-18 has already backfired
After months of debate, the Trudeau government has passed Bill C-18, a controversial piece of legislation aimed at forcing tech giants like Facebook and Google to compensate media outlets for content shared on their popular platforms.
Village Media, the company that operates this news site, lobbied hard against Bill C-18 right from the start. Unlike many legacy media outlets — who insist that Facebook and Google “steal” their content, and should have to pay for that privilege — Village believes the opposite: that big tech has helped us build a strong and sustainable local news model, driving countless readers to our high-quality journalism who otherwise wouldn’t find us.
He also says that in the lead-up to royal assent, the government consistently downplayed the possibility that Facebook and Google would actually block Canadian news.
