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.

But we will also see what Microsoft does. They may comply and make Google look even more childish.

Didn't the C18 specifically name google and meta?

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.
