Canada

Bill C-18 will come into force later this year. It requires regulatory provisions that will need to be formally published and consulted through The Canada Gazette etc.

This seems to be Meta & Google flexing and doing their worst to local media before the proposed regulations are published.

Here’s a CBC breakdown from last Friday.

Reacting to Google's announcement Thursday, Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez told CBC News conversations with the company are ongoing and the "clarity" it wants about the Online News Act will come as the government hammers out regulations.

Here’s the 44-1/C-18 information page for the Parliament of Canada.
