Google is warning that the federal government's online news bill could force it to subsidize non-authoritative or biased news sources, such as the Russian state-sponsored news agency Sputnik.

But the organization representing Canada's news media industry says the wording of the bill is tight and specifically excludes outlets that promote the interests of an organization.

The proposed legislation would also prevent tech giants penalizing or giving preference to news organizations it has reached agreements with.After the war in Ukraine began, it began limiting the visibility of state-controlled Russian media organization RT, including on the Google News search tool. This could potentially include two people who set up a digital news organization from their basement, foreign state-sponsored news groups with a bureau in Canada or news outlets with a far-left or far-right bias.

But the president of News Media Canada, which represents the country's news media industry, said the proposed law is worded carefully. Canadian Heritage said in a statement that "it is not the role of the government to decide what is and isn't online news."

Who doesn’t love biased news?

Well they steal biased news for free, and make revenue from it, so duh.

Not if they don't use their news!

What else is new.

Why not let the audience decide. Government always covers its failings and misgivings.

Like CTVNews ?

No shit

Taking a picture with this racist leader kinda makes you look like a racist

Ya I hate how some news outlets are pro-oil, pro-war, pro-occupation but never report on US, Israeli or Saudi war crimes... pathetic excuses for 'news'.

Don't rebroadcast their 'news'
