minus-squareEhForumUser@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-21 year ago Isn’t the argument for C-18 that the advertising market isn’t doing the news organizations much good anyway? The officially stated reason for Bill C-18 is to give news organizations in Canada balanced negotiating power with entities like Facebook. Which, I guess, was successful. Facebook pushed away from the bargaining table as it no longer feels like it holds dominance over it. But now the news companies are saying that’s not good enough. They want more power than Facebook has.
