Google could remove news stories from results in the wake of C-18, which asks sites to make deals with publishers. Glen McGregor reports.

CTV News is Canada's most-watched news organization both locally and nationally, and has a network of national, international, and local news operations.
Google has been filtering its search engine for a few years. Eventually only government approved content will be on the internet.
use presearch.
Unfortunately
Approved by liberal gov is exactly where Canada is heading.
Sad but very possible my friend
With digital id maybe it’s time to ditch the internet and smartphones. Privacy is not being respected anymore.
Digital ID isn’t a thing.
@Mark Twain was just agreed to in Ontario and Atlantic provinces, will be implemented at breakneck speed to get the healthcare funding it’s tied to, so a year tops.
@Fred Penner How would it work? I don’t even own a cell phone.
Mind readers know no privacy. They could experience your experience.. or not.. but there not you. Words from a off the ledge possible skitzo.. no not really but lmao
@Mark Twain same thing they said about the Vaccines remember? Keep basking in your docility and ignorance.😒
Trust me, better and more truthful news on other search sites.
The problem is it won’t be on the other news sites either if the bill goes through , more control by your government
@Sam The bill is to help journalists Sam, not limit them. It only means that google can’t steal their journalism without compensation.
That isn’t government control, they are trying to get compensation for journalists work. Google is the one that is in the wrong here.
This is why you use multiple search engines and multiple sources.
It’s only the beginning.
Disgusting! This government makes me sick more and more every day
…and yet they keep getting voted in
Until civilian war starts here on Canadian soil. Canadians are very close to that breaking point, wait til the start pushing digital ID.
@hank snot do they or are u simply a coward
@hank snot well, when the election is over before the polls close in Manitoba………….
The only way it will ever change is if we form some sort of equal representation for and between all provinces, buuuuttttt, that would mean less federal power…….
Shame in the Canadian government and on Google
Can’t have it both ways
Google is sort of forced to do it
@krabz morningstar So is the Canadian government.
If your outlet is saying COULD, It’s already being done ……
🖕
This already happened long time ago. Many results don’t show up, for specific topics🙄
Not a surprise. They haven’t been telling the truth in so long, at least this announcement might encourage a few stragglers to find the real sources.
I won’t pay for the internet anymore once it’s totally ruined…looks like I’ll be saveing more money.
Yeah, with newspapers going this way, already, wwhhheeeww
If you like having every detail of your life recorded and sold wholesale, stick with Google, Apple, Edge, and Chrome.
Nobody tell this person who owns YouTube…
Like my life is SO important and I have SO much to hide…
Everything tracks you on the net unless you specifically go out of your way, not to be tracked. VPNS are monitored by ISPs. You have to do layers upon layers in order to hide. Don’t just think because you don’t use those 4 things, that you are safe
Google’s headlines don’t even come close to providing a broad picture of events to begin with.
That’s not how the Internet works
@Swim Fan I’m talking about the Google News service.
Isn’t stifling sources of information against the law though?
This is a breach of Canadas Right to Information.
Thats exactly what mainstream news(or lack of it) does everyday!!
HA! they’re going to start? That implies they weren’t doing that already. Now google is just making a point of talking about it. News outlets that they’ve blacklisted are already purged from results across their entire product platform.
Not just news. Even internet gossip sites are no stranger to removal.
If it passes in the Senate All hell should break loose. You ain’t gonna limit what I see
Nobody should question anymore how it could happen back in the 1930‘s in Germany. It happens right now in front of our eyes!
How does he get that?? Out of this news broadcast? lol I don’t think you really get what’s going on here buddy
Those that don’t understand what you’re talkin about should go back to history class
@Darrell Smith Why don’t you explain what you think is going on here Darrell.
@Robert C. Christian J00T3WB szensors the truth.
@l’assaut 6 What is J00t3wb?
It’s time to hold our members of parliament accountable. They were sent to the house of commons by OUR votes to represent OUR best interests. Find out if the MP representing your riding voted Yay or Nay and hold them to account.
All the yay’s = Toronto/PQ, all the nays = Western Canada…west is best, always will be.
It’s time to realize that citizens holding governments accountable has never been a thing. They’ll yield just enough to maintain the charade of “democracy” and keep you pacified, but ultimately they hold the power, and you are to them a resource just like cattle.
