In fact, Bill C-18 means organiztions like The Line will lose the opportunity to promote its work and content if news disappears from Facebook and Google.Check out Matt's latest column re: C-18 on The Line. https://open.substack.com/pub/theline/p/matt-gurney-australia-but-in-a-bad?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
