I’ve posted a fair bit of links around Bill C18 and how it’s bad, and had people assume that I’m somehow on the side of Google & Facebook.

Moscrop does a good job explaining that literally everyone involved here is bad, but that it does need fixing.

we ought to accept a few things: the Online News Act is bad law that needs to be amended or scrapped, Google and Meta are not your friends, we need to find a way to save journalism, some (legacy) media companies are awful themselves, and we need to reign in the tech giants and force them to pay for what they extract from their workers and from us.

The fact that the country feels so much control and influence from either the government (which can be justified to a degree) or corporations (which shouldn't be so normalized) should concern everyone.

When corporations can challenge government for so much control .... it's called a plutocracy or an oligarchy, a system that is controlled by money and power and not a democracy where the system is controlled by the people.
