The Online News Act passed last Thursday and would force platforms like Google and Meta, Facebook and Instagram’s parent company, to strike deals with Canadian media publishers for sharing, previewing and directing users to online Canadian news content.
And a lot of people are so blinded by their desire to hurt meta/google that they don’t see how dumb of a law it is.
I’m not sure why so many people seem to be under the misconception that it’s about copying entire stories or something. It quite literally and prominently says it includes linking to them. I cannot understand anyone thinking this is a good thing.
