Yes, the news sites recanted on the legitimacy of the bill. On other words the way the bill worked was it was based around reporting it and the social media companies would be fined and made to pay the news outlets. Once they saw their revenue stream dip harshly in those two days due to extremely low traffic on their sites due to social media sites blocking the ability to post links to those said news outlets within the code. The results were most news sites apologized and basically said something along the line of social media plays a key part of sharing information with the news outlets to the people. The major outlets made a formal apology and said they wouldn't report any social media sites. Of course those sites got written confirmation of this 'unification' because it became a sort of partnership between social media sites and news outlets thus making it legal. The bill was later dissolved by parliament.
