Are instances of fediverse platforms going to be affected by this law? Does it apply at all to the fediverse?

Canada's new bill forces companies who shares a link to a Canadian news outlet to pay the outlet called a "link tax". Google doesn't want to pay the "link tax" so they got rid of every search result to Canadian news outlet in response. This effectively ensures nobody can see the news from Canadian news outlets through Google.

If you're depending on Google or meta for news you're doing it wrong.
