One of our senators mentioned that the threshold was set so that it only affects Google and Meta. Microsoft can share news stories without paying because Bing isn’t as popular.
That same senator also said that more people should start using Bing™, and that it’s actually a really good search engine. Not even joking. The article read like a sponsored post.
The senator saying people should use Bing was one of the most sensible reactions I’ve seen to Meta and Google pulling news from their sites in Canada. Reminding people there are alternatives to Google seems like a better way of handling this than trying to convince Google to reverse their decision.
