@prologic Can you give me a tldr; on that law? Sorry, been busy these days to follow the conversation.
@adi TL;DR: Sites like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc now have to go into negotiation with News and Media companies and pay them compensation just to link to their articles in the first place. e.g: I as pod owner of twtxt.net would have to pay News Corp just for linking to for example Facebook’s ‘dog act’ against all Australians
(_which obviously I will not do!_).

Or another alternative TL;DR. The likes of the Murdoch's and the Packer's business models no longer function in our modern evolved inter-connected web, with large social media platforms and huge search engines. So instead of coming up with a new sustainable business model, they've sought to but buy off politicians to get a new law passed so they can "suck" up some of that money they never earned themselves. 🤣

It's pretty bloody ridiculous. Unfortunately, it's a good example of the real problem - not the internet itself, but corporations and those in power mucking it up for everyone else.

@eldersnake I don’t even think corporations are to blame here. The fact is most politicians especially in Australia are at least in their 60s and in some cases even older. Unfortunately many of them just simply don’t understand anything about technology or the Internet or the web. Example the senators that question Zuckerberg on numerous occasions just simply didn’t understand anything about how Facebook the web or advertising business models worked at all! or another example our telecommunications minister trying to explain how web links work on a webpage 😳 quite embarrassing!

@eldersnake Not to say that they are not faultless of course, monopolistic positions that they take for example...
