MODERATORS
I don't disagree with anything you've said here, but at the same time, what is the response?
Facebook already has the engagement they want. While they grew that platform engagement partially from news content, they have it now and no longer need news content. In fact, if the article is to be believed, they no longer want news on their platform.
Maybe make the royalty per user rather than per article. Then there's no incentive to ban news.
A royalty for what though? To display the headline of a news article and the first few words? I hate Facebook as much as anyone on Lemmy but I don't think they owe the media a cent.
We don't need these media outlets anyway, we have the ABC which doesn't need to be profitable. Most print media has extreme political biases which shape public thought by focusing on something to make it seem more common. An example: youth crime in Queensland, the number of offences has been in decline however the media give it disproportionate coverage to make it seem like the government isn't doing enough. They like the LNP, they want the LNP in power. In Queensland Labor are in power, they don't like them, so they lie.
Edit: And how about their lies about Climate Change, the referendum and literally anything. They can go and get fucked
