Not entirely, AFAIU. Canada tried to force Google/facebook/etc to pay media companies every time someone viewed news content via social media or search sites. In response, various social media sites simply stopped displaying any news to avoid having to pay. It was ultimately settled with a substantially watered down bill very recently, but I’m not sure if everything has been updated.
