So the bill doesn't say that Canadians will no longer have access to news content on Facebook & Instagram. The bill says that tech giants need to pay to post news content on their own website. However, the giants then give a giant middle finger to the news outlets. Full disclosure: I hate <please accept our cookies> News outlets <please provide your email address for our newsletter> and the way they <you have reached 5/5 articles this month, click here to get a subscription>. *WirelessGigabit navigates to archive.is/link_to_article ... try to do everything to NOT focus on the article they just wrote... But, looking at the history, I'm sure it'll play out like this: * News outlet has website, gets visitors. * Facebook comes along, gets many visitors. * News outlet posts content on Facebook for exposure. * News outlet gets visitors via Facebook and makes money on advertisement revenue. * Facebook starts to things to keep people in their ecosystem. * News outlet gets no visitors as everybody considers Facebook their 'entrypoint' to the WWW. * New bill gets lobbied that force tech giants need to pay to post news. * Tech giants don't post news. * News outlet still doesn't get visitors.
