Is this a typo? Did the French government really say Facebook CAN'T leave the 'news content sharing market'?
- harrisoned 3y agoi don't know if this is real in France, but here in Brazil, there is a bill trying to do the same thing (hasn't passed yet). Social media would be obligated to pay news outlets, and on the Chapter VII, Article 32, § 6º it says: > "The provider may not promote the removal of journalistic content made available in order to exempt themselves from the obligation referred to in this article, except for the cases provided for in this Law, or by court order specific."
- MichaelZuo 3y ago"The provider may not promote the removal of journalistic content" might have a different meaning hinging on the word 'promote'. If Facebook simply shuts down the ability to post all external links for the Brazilian site, then that could plausibly fall outside.
