OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada unveiled draft rules on Friday for a law to compel internet giants to pay news outlets, saying it was addressing the tech companies' concerns, but Facebook said it would stick to plans to block news in the country.

Canada said the draft rules, designed to implement the recently-passed Online News Act, would address worries at Alphabet's Google and Facebook-parent Meta that they could face an uncapped liability.
