Yeah, I can't wait to trust the feds that can't even work out their stupid CRA website with being a source of reliable news aggregation. Just last year I SAW someone else's tax reports on my account.
If you want to go on full /r/communism about Google, there's a subreddit for that. But giving the finger to Canadians and internet freedom just because you hate Google is wack. City Nouvelles is not getting a dime from this bill.
Google doesn't control the news as you tried to imply in another comment. That's ridiculous. People that use Google made the choice to use Google for their news. Just like you chose Lemmy, some choose Meta, others choose Reddit, MSN, Yahoo, Bing, etc.
All this does is kill independent news sources and cutting choices from Canadians for the profit of the few rich corps in Canada. It's a pure money grab.
Who said anything about the government stepping in to take over? I certainly didn't say that. Something like Lemmy (and the Fediverse in general) isn't government controlled, in fact it isn't controlled by any one entity, which is one of its strengths. If you're looking for a possible alternative to corporate or government control of media, you're using one right now.
The problem is that Google has become a defacto default for most people. That didn't happen just because people "decided" to start using it, the decision was made for them because Google has a great deal of money and power and can use that influence to essentially make the decision for people.
I'm convinced you're trolling or genuinely really dumb.
I'm off, enjoy your monologue rants.
Strange reaction, no need for the personal attack. Enjoy your day.
