Canada put a law in place last year requiring meta and Google to pay for users clicks into Canadian media. Facebook stopped allowing the sharing of our reputable news sources and I was temporarily impressed that Google continued on.

That is probally why. As more and more countries stack up more news tax for the tech companies. People seem to forget that news is optional for them, and shouldn't take that for granted.

Google search doesn't need news, Facebook doesn't need it, why would they want to pay for it?
