Who said I was? It is a bad / vague law.. I think most of the traditional news outlets are just as bad trying to milk money with clickbait and one sided stories.

This is designed to stop reporting in a way that appeases an algorithm set by billionaires. It frees MSM and all news outlets to report facts only. It sets all news outlets on an even footing. This will benefit Canadian citizens and democracy.

The bill only outlines a mandate to revenue share nothing about fairness.

It frees MSM and all news outlets to report facts only.

Explain how....

It sets all news outlets on an even footing.

Explain how?

Traditional news outlets have been under the thumb of the tech billionaire mafia.

All the top hits for news always show up in google and are often shared online.. If the de-listing happens then ZERO of the Traditional news outlets will have any online exposure and more rapidly die the slow death they were already going through. I don't feel sorry for them and their click bait these days.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmedia_Network Also NEARLY all traditional news / media outlets in canada are consolidated and owned by Bell, Rogers and Post media

See how this helps to break up monopolies? IT IS AWESOME

Anyway, this helps to end Zillion dollar greed corps/fascists from blocking truth. People will still be able to read news and the better news providers will thrive.

I'm done.

Oh, and #BoycottGoogle #BoycottTwitter #BoycottMeta 👍🏻
