I think the issue is that most of the "big tech" platforms gained revenue from republishing (with attribution) news articles. So the news orgs weren't getting views on their ads and therefore were doing the work without the revenue. The same sort of law passed in Australia and Meta pulled all news for a bit (including emergency info) before backing down and doing deals with the publishers. Same will happen here.
