It would be nice if they weren't so quiet. The fact that they are tells you a lot about the kind of power FB et al have.
Yea this would be a lot more effective if other countries participated. What are they going to do, block everyone from Facebook news?
This is exactly what they did in Australia for about a week, then they backed down when the government wouldn't.
In Australia's case, it was only after concessions were added that Facebook reinstated news on the platform.
Canada has taken a harder stance on the law, and it doesn't look like either side is planning on accepting a compromise anytime soon.
That article was sadly very sparse on what the concessions actually were.
I've heard we can get news in other places. Facebook only has one group of humans to prey on for clicks.
I've read that Facebook has actually been trying to reduce their reliance on news in all their products, so the answer is actually a possible "yes", they would do a global news block.
Sounds like a net positive.
Yeah, since Nov 2016.
I'd that were done, elections would look very different.
"We care. We 'cut taxes for you' and cut consolidated services so you have to pay more and don't get a deal, and we gave the proceeds to our friends as tax breaks, and we didn't make people clean up oil wells if we know them, but we still care about you." should get a response Very Different from what it gets now.
