Well then this is great no? The billionaires and Facebook don't get to profit from the media. Since the law was passed on the premise that Facebook was basically stealing money from local media corporations, surely our national media industry is doing better now by not getting exploited like that.

Yet I keep seeing sob stories after sob stories from the exact same media organizations that were vehemently pushing for this. Something about leopards and faces getting eaten comes to mind

(Also, media corporations here are -in typical Canadian fashion- a handful of giants controlling basically most outlets. A part from the state sponsored/funded CBC. So there's basically no little guys in this fight, and Canadian corporations always try to pull this type of stuff to protect their little corporatist fiefdoms through the federal government)
