    This means all governments around the world should impose similar laws so Facebook / Google will finally fxxking pay the news organisations they helped destroyed.

      Are you saying Beehaw is destroying news organizations? Because the law is the same for all: “pay us for any link with an excerpt of our news”, like the link with a title up top.

      Anyways, after all these years, and all these countries, it should be proof enough that link aggregators help news sites by driving traffic to them, not destroy them.

      This is nothing else than some cunning lawyers getting news sites onto a hype train based on a tale they know is false, but they will get paid for defending, then tearing down, in one more country.
