It seems CBC aren’t familiar with how this played out in Australia.
I think they are, but understand that the dynamics of the situation are different within the North American context.
The proposed legislation in Canada was directly inspired by what happened in Australia.
What “dynamics“ are different with regards to paying for news on their platform in Canada compared to Australia?
Canada is economically integrated with the United States in a way that Australia is not. Meta and Google understand that precedents weigh differently here.
By all means, elaborate.
It’s literally in the linked article
Facebook made it seem like everyone would lose out to give themselves a better bargaining position and now they pay for news content in Australia.
They will simply do this everywhere and force terms they find acceptable, or block news in countries unwilling to negotiate.
Okay, but what is your point exactly? You seem to be arguing with...something.
CBC’s prediction isn’t worth much when we have precedent that says otherwise.
Is there any indication whatsoever that Facebook is willing to enter into negotiations with the government over this? If there is, I missed it.
There are those who learn from history and those who are doomed to repeat it.
Do you have anything to add beyond platitudes?
Facebook is a corporation. Corporations operate for profit.
If negotiating would lead to continued profit they will negotiate.
I didn’t realise this was c/explainlikeimfive but here we are.
Always good to interact with your peers.
Nonprofit and not-for-profit corporations have entered the chat...
Why is that?
