Meta and Google Block News Content in Canada Over Payment Dispute

Meta has started blocking news content on Facebook and Instagram in Canada in response to the Online News Act.
Google plans to remove news sites from Canadian search results but has not done so yet.
The law requires tech companies to pay news publishers for their content, which Meta and Google oppose.
Meta and Google previously took similar actions in Australia over a comparable law before reaching deals.
Canada's government criticizes the moves and has pulled advertising from Meta's platforms.
