The legacy consolidated news organizations getting a sweet free new revenue stream are glad that they've been able to convince so many people that big tech linking to them is actually a "stranglehold" and a problem!
- shevy-java 5mo agoWell, while I am not saying this is incorrect, I also fail to see why US mega-corporations should proxy-control europeans. I trust neither involved side here, ever since the EU tries to push for age snifing and abolishing VPNs. At the same time US corporations ruin a LOT of the world wide web, and that continues. I don't think we need to accept this anylonger. Out with them.
- mcv 5mo agoYou're missing both points here. I don't think they're going to get a sweet free new revenue stream. I think they're going to get less traffic. And the stranglehold is not big tech over the newspapers, but big tech over the internet.
