Show an example from the bill please I have done so to highlight that it vaguely defines who is liable. How does this help the people by charging for listing links?
skipped over this better definision in the bill
digital news intermediary means an online communications platform, including a search engine or social media service, that is subject to the legislative authority of Parliament and that makes news content produced by news outlets available to persons in Canada. It does not include an online communications platform that is a messaging service the primary purpose of which is to allow persons to communicate with each other privately. (intermédiaire de nouvelles numériques)
lemmy instances would fall under a social media service
news content means content — in any format, including an audio or audiovisual format — that reports on, investigates or explains current issues or events of public interest and includes such content that an Indigenous news outlet makes available by means of Indigenous storytelling. (contenu de nouvelles)
Making available of news content
(2) For the purposes of this Act, news content is made available if
(a) the news content, or any portion of it, is reproduced; or
(b) **access to the news content, or any portion of it, is facilitated by any means, including an index, aggregation or ranking of news content.**
Links would fall under “is facilitated by any means, including an index”
Why are you defending anti-democratic multi-billionaire influence peddlers META and Google instead of people? We have to be profiting by linking news items to be in violation. We are NOT profiting here.
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.

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.
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 👍🏻
You’re wrong by that as well. This law hands control of news back to the people.
