Again, this doesn’t talk about summaries. It talks about following a link.
At the end of the day it’s not facebook’s responsibility to make sure the news are profitable, nor does it make sense to charge Facebook per link when it’s the users posting them.
The same with Google. All the sites need to do is adjust their robot.txt file and Google will leave them alone.
- HWR_14 3y agoThe law measures and thus talks about following a link. The reason it exists is that the summaries replace following the link. Meanwhile, I have no problem with Google and Facebook giving some of the money the create to the people who make the content that is consumed.
- _aavaa_ 3y agoThen the law should allow an exception for links which are not rendered as rich links. If it’s a plain html link, then problem solved. Social media is killing what’s left of their business model, but Craigslist and the like gutted it first. If we as a society want news outlets to stay afloat because they provide a service we deem valuable, let’s skip all the way to the logical conclusion of funding them directly.
