RE: Canadian government reaches deal with Google with Online News Act
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I hate that big tech firms steal content.
I do not feel that this extortion act is a good move. The extortion act will give the Canadian Government a huge slush fund that politicians will use to reward people friendly to their political objectives.
Little, if any of the funds, will go to independent creators.
CBC.ca will get a boat load of money. Independent sites will have to compete against a state subsidized firm ... which is very hard to do.

You may be correct, I don't know for sure. A bit of wait and see for now. These things take time to unfold and often involves secret deals. Well, secret that eventually come out. How long it takes depends on the amount of propaganda traffic churning and the noise it generates.
I believe it is not very much money that Google is agreeing to contribute to reporters, journalist, etc In a way, I think Google went along with some financial contribution in hope they would fair better by whatever regulations that may get enforced. Something has to be done and it is because of geed that government is forces to take a position.
Now, Zuck, his ego would never allow him to care for anyone but himself. Much like the Orange Jesus in US. !lol
