We are being singled out because of the Government's Online News Act for tech companies to pay for news links
that wouldn't explain why Anthropic is excluding canada.
I'm guessing the online news act is a contributor, but only to a more general conclusion of our content laws being complicated (CanCon, language laws, pipeda erasure rules, the new right to be forgotten, etc) and our country simply doesn't have enough people to be worth the effort of figuring out what's legal and what isn't.
