Google announced today that Search, News, and Discover will be “removing links to Canadian news publications” in response to a new law.
Update 11/29: Google and Canada have reached a deal to avoid removing links to Canadian news publications from Discover, News, and Search over the “link tax” legislation. This agreement (via CBC) involves Google making annual payments of about $100 million CAD, or around $73.5 million USD, to Canadian news companies. Google will now be able to negotiate with a single group that represents all publications, which limits arbitration risk. With this deal, Google says its core issues with the bill have been addressed.
