The tech giant says that all types of news content are being impacted by its test run, including Canadian news, which it says will run for about five weeks.

Google confirmed that it was temporarily limiting news content access for just under 4% of Canadian users.

The limitation of news applies to the Google search engine as well as the Discover feature on Android devices that relays the news to smartphone users.

According to Google, its test run comes in light of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Bill C-18 – also called the “Online News Act.” This bill would force social media companies to pay Canadian legacy media for news content shared on their platforms.

Bill C-18 is not the only piece of legislation from the Trudeau government that deals with internet censorship.
