    Greedy old news companies thinking they should be paid every time google displays a link or one of us posts to social media… THe way the bill is structured links to news sites posted HERE on lemmy.ca may make lemmy.ca responsible for paying for them to the old news companies.

    It’s a bad law.

        I am amazed at how people don’t understand that vague law that takes out there “Current enemy” could be used against them down the road… THERE IS NO SUPPORT OF GOOGLE or facebook… it is a bad law that could be turned around to start playing whack mole with lemmy instances in the future, especially those run by a Canadian entity or on canadian hosting.
