Reported that the Canadian Senate today passed the "online News Act" (Online News Act), and will later be submitted to Trudeau for signature as a formal law. Meta responded that Canadian users will be banned from getting news on Facebook and Instagram until the online news law takes effect.

▲ source: the online News Act of Canada requires Internet giants such as Facebook and Google to pay for local media news content, making Canada the second country after Australia to legislate to require Internet companies to pay for the use of local media news content, Meta reported. Australia passed the News Media and Digital platform mandatory bargaining Act in 2021.

CTOnews.com noted that Google protested that Canadian law is stricter than Australia and wants Canada to change its legislation. A number of US Internet companies have also said that the legislation has had an impact on their business.

Canadian cabinet leader Trudeau accused Meta and Google of using "bullying tactics" in fighting the bill. Canadian Minister of Cultural Heritage Pablo Rodriguez, the main drafter of the bill, also stressed in a statement that this is the first step for the Canadian people to fight the technology giants.
