> The law would force us to give an unfair advantage to one group of businesses - news media businesses - over everyone else They already give unfair advantage to mainstream news media over other sources of news and commentary. They artificially boost "credible sources" or "reliable sources" or whatever they call them; and also refrain entirely from recommending some sources which they disapprove of (right-wing, left-wing, world states which oppose the US etc.). On YouTube this has been very apparent in the list of recommended videos (at least if you're reading about US and world news). On the search engine itself it may be less pronounced, but they are actively doing that as well to some extent; see: https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-google-interferes-with-its-search-algorithms-and-changes-your-results-11573823753 https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-google-interferes-with-its-... or if you can't get past the Paywall, see: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/11/18/pers-n18.html https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/11/18/pers-n18.html
