It’s literally in the linked article
Facebook made it seem like everyone would lose out to give themselves a better bargaining position and now they pay for news content in Australia.
They will simply do this everywhere and force terms they find acceptable, or block news in countries unwilling to negotiate.
Okay, but what is your point exactly? You seem to be arguing with...something.
CBC’s prediction isn’t worth much when we have precedent that says otherwise.
Is there any indication whatsoever that Facebook is willing to enter into negotiations with the government over this? If there is, I missed it.
There are those who learn from history and those who are doomed to repeat it.
Do you have anything to add beyond platitudes?
Facebook is a corporation. Corporations operate for profit.
If negotiating would lead to continued profit they will negotiate.
I didn’t realise this was c/explainlikeimfive but here we are.
Always good to interact with your peers.
Nonprofit and not-for-profit corporations have entered the chat...
