Oh no offense taken, I also don’t get it. Like you said, I think amounts to forcing private companies to subsidize an industry

You’ve got the just of it. Their argument is that meta benefits as the post w/ the the link and preview is content they use in their feed to keep users engaged. Presumably in said feed they’d also insert ads.

This would also apply to any user posting a link to an article, not just the news agencies.

Ahh can’t believe I missed that it wasn’t enacted yet - thanks!

If I read correctly, they’re just complying. If they don’t want to pay, they need to filter out the content. It’s not really retaliation, but following the law

I never quite understood this law, it seems delusional.

A free an open internet doesn’t work if you need to pay to link to something.

I’m sorry, I need some privacy when I shit my brains out. I wonder if there was a forsaken corner for their rougher days

Thank you! That’s what I was missing!

Not from the area, what’s the deal/context?

I’m assuming it’s a traffic cluster fuck?

What’s with all the downvotes?

Saw a few threads get blasted, and a de-federation post - did I miss the drama?
