Google is more interested in serving page after page of ads and boilerplate and ai generated articles. I don't think them not indexing things is as relevant as it used to be
IIRC DuckDuckGo wasn't a fan of the Australian media bargaining bill either. I suspect they will also deindex news sites in Canada should amendments not be made.
I haven't seen the Canadian one and this is honestly the first I've heard of it, but the idea that a referrer has to pay a news website for directing traffic to them is ludicrous to me.
If this marks the return of people actually picking up a newspaper (or the digital equivalent), that'd be fantastic. Not holding my breath, but one can hope.
