Who knew that all it’d take was interest rates for tech companies to go full evil

In this case, it’s the Canadian government that is evil. Imagine them telling lemmy sites that they had to pay for news? It’s basically the same thing.

It’s a complete destruction of the free and open internet. Canada doesn’t get to declare war on the internet and then cry because Meta responded exactly how they said they would respond.

Depending on tech companies to not be evil is always a losing strategy. Tax them harder and build a better alert system.
