Reminder that Canadian media actually lobbied for this. They spent like two years calling Zuckerberg a thief for displaying news articles on Facebook.
This isn’t the result of the government just doing a random thing. They did what they were asked to do by the media outlets.
The media outlets aren’t going to get what they want, but this still seems like a potentially good thing for users. After all, it’s not just Canadian media sites that are being black listed.

Agreed! The media in Canada asked for this, expecting a big payday and now they are getting screwed (fewer eyeballs means less money from advertising) with themselves to blame.
