The reality is that the Canadian media need Facebook more than Facebook needs the Canadian media.

If the “bump” is so small, why is everyone complaining when this “exploitation” is removed? They should be cheering!

Whose work is bringing who profit?

The cruel reality is that the Canadian media need Facebook more than Facebook needs Canadian media.

Looks like they’re following the law pretty well here.
In return for being asked to pay for making links, they no longer make links.
Sure, Meta and Google can be nasty on other grounds (and fighting C-11 isn’t nasty), but they’re being quite law-abiding here.
Flouting the law would be sharing links and refusing to pay.

@jimmyjamxoxo I was in a hotel room in Hanoi Vietnam, watching Mel Lastman make a blubbering fool of himself on CNN half a world away.
