Google And Meta Play Hardball With Canada -- The Fourth Industrial Revolution -- June 30, 2023

Locator: 44848TECH. 

So, how does this play out.

Google will now block links to Canadian news outlets. Wow. 

We'll see how long "Canada" news outlets want to remain irrelevant.

Folks will find a way around this, of course, but in the big scheme of things, now, when I do a google search, hits from Canadian news outlets won't appear.

I can already think of work-arounds.

However, let's say the outcome is what folks think it will be: google searches from now on won't include hits from Canadian news sources.

What if the US did the same thing? Of course, the US won't but let's say it did.

What's the fix? ChatGPT. 

The "internal" links / searches won't be blocked. Folks will simply go to ChatGPT and ask for daily summary of Canadian news.
