What this episode covers

A battle is raging in Canada between the government and two goliaths -- Google and Facebook. At the center are Canadian news sites, which have seen site visits plummet as much as 50% since Meta blocked news links last summer. Will there be a ripple effect in The States? In this episode, Gordon & Corey offer their take on what's happening, and turn to Jeff Elgie, the founder of 21 hyperlocal sites who foresees a devastating effect if Google blocks Canadian news links by a Dec. 19 deadline.
