      My understanding is that it’s just Canadian news orgs that will be gone but I could be wrong

            This way it won’t be much extra work to block news in the next place that passes this kind of law. Why keep a bunch of different lists of news sites when they can just use the same one everywhere?

            It’s actually great news though. This is going to put a damper on misinformation and far right news sources.
