    Right. Which isn’t DDG wrongdoing. I’m not going to give DDG a strike for being caught in the crossfire.

    I’m already only using the basic necessities from Microsoft because they are a shit company, just like the rest lol.

        The bill itself doesn’t name any specific company. It has a clause saying that the CRTC will publish and maintain a list of “digital news intermediaries” to which the contents of the bill apply. The official list isn’t yet available.
