Canada news industry body backs Google’s concerns about ad revenue-sharing law

A Canadian news industry body on Thursday lent support to some of Google’s concerns about a new law that aims to make large internet companies share advertising revenue with news publishers in the country.

Alphabet’s Google has made a “good faith articulation of legitimate concerns” that the Canadian government should address while finalising rules to implement the law, said News Media Canada (NMC), which represents Canada’s top newspapers, including the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star.
