Yesterday, the internet search giant "Google" announced that it will remove Canadian news links from its products in response to the online news law known as "C-18," its name when it was a bill.

The Canadian online news law obliges internet giants to negotiate with media outlets to pay fees for sharing their articles and reports. This measure, adopted on June 22, will come into effect after six months.

Google also said that its search engine will no longer provide news links starting from this deadline, including Google News links.

In a blog post published on Thursday on Google's website, Walker pointed out that the new law sets a price for links, leading to unlimited financial liability "simply for facilitating Canadians’ access to Canadian publishers’ news."

"We do not take this decision or its implications lightly and believe it is important to be transparent with Canadian publishers and our users as soon as possible," quoted Kent Walker, Head of Global Affairs at Google and its parent company Alphabet.

Google had been seeking assurances regarding the potential costs it might bear and the negotiation process. These details are likely to become clearer with the completion of the regulatory process for the bill, which Google said it will participate in.
