U.S. State Department report depicts Online News Act as undermining press freedom in Canada

August 14, 2025

The U.S. State Department is taking aim at Canada’s Online News Act in a human rights report that criticizes press freedom in Canada – which experts characterized Thursday as Orwellian.

The Online News Act, which requires Meta and Google to compensate news publishers for the use of their content, is cited in a section of the report covering freedom of the press.
