OTTAWA -
Google said Thursday it will remove links to Canadian news on its platforms in Canada because of the Liberal government's new law, which forces digital giants to compensate media outlets for content they share or otherwise repurpose online.
In response, the tech giant said it will remove Canadian news links from Google News -- a personalized aggregator service available by web or app that highlights local news -- and from Google Discover, a feature on mobile phones that helps people find content.
Only Canadian news will be blocked, so Canadian users will still be able to see content from Fox News or BBC, for example.
