They won’t even for California. And they shouldn’t. News organizations need to figure out how to make money in this system. If all people do is read headlines then don’t put headlines out for free. Put it behind a pay gate and ask Google and Meta to pay for access.
This law is indeed ridiculous and embarrassing. It’s completely unnecessary. But the end result is the same. News sites effectively asked for Google and Meta to pay, and they declined.
That’s business. It’s unfortunate but such is life.
Business is also operating in the confines of the laws and oops, it's not going their way this time! 🤷
Business is also paying taxes, which they don't, in Canada or the USA (where they have their headquarters)

So, no, they don't need you defending them.
