So all the American Social media is going to block news links for Canadian news sites for users because the Canadian government is to stupid to understand basic economics. If social media users share links to Canadian news websites then the Canadian government demands welfare be givien to those Canadian news sites. Like most socialists the Canadian government is stupid and instead of paying welfare money to Canadian companies American companies will just ban the sharing of links from Canadian news sites thus decreasing traffic and ad revenue for Canadian news sites.
They should have been happy to have companies link to their website thus driving traffic to their websites so they can sell more ads. Instead their ad revenue will crater because Canada's governing officials are low I.Q. imbeciles.
Shame on the NDP for voting with the government on this bill.
The Australian government tried something similar last year or the year before if memory serves. "Mu h media is losing money, you must pay" and all that crap. Fecesbook yanked its services for a few days instead, throwing the government into utter chaos since they were quite reliant on the free service Fecesbook provided.
They backed down in the end and Fecesbook restored services.
