    Governments are terrible at legislating in the tech and information space. It almost always results in terrible laws that don’t even come close to doing what they intended.

    I don’t like facebook and i certainly don’t give a shit if they lose money but you can’t force them to buy news articles and deliver them to non-paying users.
