For those out of the Loop:
#Google, #Meta, Microsoft, any of the tech companies who provide "portals" to news and content, scrape this content and shove it in a feed that they have control over (obstensibly based on your "habits" and "preferences"). The portal keeps the $ad.revenue$ they pad the content with. The news agency: $0 unless the viewer clicks-thru.
The Canadian Government, in defense of #Canadian news producers, said they had to pay up.
