The source said until that last-minute change, the government had been brushing off Google’s attempts to communicate its concerns and propose solutions. While Google had met with staff, it had been told the minister was unavailable, and until this week hadn’t met with Rodriguez about the bill for more than a year.Government has ‘options’ if Facebook, Google pull news content, minister says
The source said Google was hopeful it was going to be able to get the clarity the company needs right away, before the regulatory process begins. The source said the company’s main concerns remain, particularly “uncapped financial liability” and an “unclear” path to exemption from the bill.
Rodriguez’s office said Friday: “Facebook and Google know very well that they have no obligations under the act right now. Now that Bill C-18 has received Royal Assent, the Government will engage in a regulatory and implementation process.” Meta has previously expressed that one of its main concerns about the bill is that it would force the company to pay for content publishers voluntarily choose to put on Facebook.
