News aggregation services like Apple News should fall under the act, said the Canadian Association of Broadcasters in an Oct. 2 submission to the federal Heritage Department. The bill, which requires tech platforms to pay Canadian news outlets to link to their content, would only apply to Meta and Google under a set of draft rules released last month. (The Logic)

Talking point: The proposed rules, as currently written, apply to search engines and social networks with global revenues of at least $1 billion a year and at least 20 million unique Canadian visits a month. That excludes other platforms that benefit from news content and “are negatively impacting news businesses in Canada,” said the CAB, which represents private broadcasters. The act received royal assent in June and has led to standoffs between the feds and Big Tech platforms: Meta has blocked Canadian news links on Facebook and Instagram, while Google has laid out a set of conditions for complying. Apple did not immediately respond to The Logic’s request for comment.
