(It's pathetic that Google and FB caved in when Australia pulled this stunt, but I'd hoped they might learn their lesson. Facebook did, apparently.)
nostr:npub1lrvmc88ck63qpt734w85t5pnxchncvam0p9k9mueuezqz0grkn6s8jtth9 okay, so let's agree that this legislation is a bad thing. What's the better solution to getting big tech to share the vast wealth that they are making of ad revenue, backed by content generated by news orgs? I've asked this at least three times in this thread.

It's not a great piece of legislation, but can you suggest a better way to make big tech companies revenue share? They're not going to do it on their own
