Hypocritical of Zuck now show news after having a major snit fit when here in Canada he was asked to support news organizations he chose not to and just block news.


> he was asked to support news organizations

I think that's a pretty disingenuous way of putting it. Meta and Google were told that by law they would need to pay money to /link/ to news content. Everyone else pays Meta and Google to run ads or does SEO, and now Meta has to pay the people they're linking to (but only if its news). It's completely back-asswords and I support their protest.

"Hey McDonalds, when this one group orders a cheeseburger you have to give them money instead of them paying you"

"Okay, we won't serve those people cheeseburgers."

Same situation, just as ridiculous.
