Google doesn’t like Bill C-18

The company criticized the bill for using an extremely broad definition of eligible news businesses, saying any blog would effectively be eligible for subsidies, as would foreign state-owned outlets that promote misinformation.
Google charges the bill would introduce a “link tax” and require it to pay publishers simply for being shown in searches. This tax “fundamentally breaks the way search (and the internet) have always worked,” says the blog.
Google also claims the act would give CRTC unprecedented and sweeping new powers to regulate every aspect of the Canadian news industry.
