Google set to remove news links in Canada over online news law
BNN Bloomberg
Google says it will remove news links in Canada because of the Liberal government's new law forcing digital giants to compensate media outlets for content they share or otherwise repurpose online.
The company says its search engine will no longer carry news links when the Online News Act, formerly known as Bill C-18, comes into effect by the end of this year.
It will also remove news links from Google News, a personalized aggregator, and Google Discover, a mobile-phone feature that helps people find content online.
The tech company says it will end Google News Showcase in Canada, a product it uses to license news from over 150 local publishers.

A key question hangs over the Federal Reserve’s two-day meeting that ends Wednesday: Will central bank policymakers still reduce short-term interest rates this year, now that the Iran war has sent oil prices higher and gas prices spiking? Or will they have to stand pat for months to see how the conflict plays out?
