I would define it as all revenue from any for-profit publisher. This starting from the assumption that 99% of it is:
- reproduced from other sources without fact checking
- provided by PR firms and other interested parties
- actual advertisements or sponsored content
This powerfull spread of disinformation must imo be countered somehow, and I cannot think of any other way then let a democratically elected government tax all this and use the proceeds to fund a compensating force of actual journalists doing their job independently, for the benefit of society.
