Google and Canadian PM Justine Trudeau's government reached an agreement about the new law that requires tech companies to pay Canadian news publishers for their content. Google agreed to pay $74 million, approximately CA$100 million, to provide annual financial support for a wide range of news businesses in Canada. According to a Fortune report, the deal concluded after months of "negotiations and strong oppositions" from tech giants like Google and Meta. The new Canadian act, Trudeau's Online News Act, also called Bill C-18, will reportedly force both Google and Meta to feature news content on the platforms and boost an industry with massive advertising revenue losses.
