A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The bill only outlines a mandate to revenue share nothing about fairness.
Explain how....
Explain how?
All the top hits for news always show up in google and are often shared online.. If the de-listing happens then ZERO of the Traditional news outlets will have any online exposure and more rapidly die the slow death they were already going through. I don't feel sorry for them and their click bait these days.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmedia_Network Also NEARLY all traditional news / media outlets in canada are consolidated and owned by Bell, Rogers and Post media
See how this helps to break up monopolies? IT IS AWESOME
Anyway, this helps to end Zillion dollar greed corps/fascists from blocking truth. People will still be able to read news and the better news providers will thrive.
I'm done.
