5. Ultimately, the citizens win
Nothing of value for humanity was lost. Based on past form, not having a facebook dopamine targeting news feed is considered a huge gain for the entire human race (even for the facebook execs who have (a little bit) less money and less problems).
- trog 3y agoOne thing of value that was lost was that the ABC (Australian national broadcaster) had hired 60 reporters, mostly in regional areas (typically more undeserved by journalists) from the revenue they got from this deal. Those jobs are now at risk. (This is all according to the ABC coverage on this topic.)
- Moldoteck 3y agoit's one perspective. Another perspective is that smaller news sites will be annihilated by bigger ones with this law, because traffic from social media will drop significantly and as result, revenue too, contributing to monopolization of the news category by a bunch of big players :)
