I live in canada so my solution for news now will be to spin up some self hosted app that will scrape all the content and create an RSS feed that doesn’t require me to go to their website. Obviously not everyone can do this but it’ll overall be hurting the news sites more than anything, they literally advocated for a law that might ruin them.
Before even worrying about the content of individual torrents people should worry about the sites themselves being full of ads, spyware and other garbage that generates revenue for shady people. There’s a reason beyond just privacy that people use rss and magnet links. In an ideal scenario you never go to an actual torrent website.
