     @freezenet I hope they never reach a deal with Google because then that means that the establishment is going to end up being dependant on the big tech establishment, those that needs to fall already and be struck down down with data privacy laws and more. Who even wins from this, not us, that's for sure

     @coolboymew It would be really awful if Google did end up doing a surprise deal striking. It would only further incentivize profiting off of surveillance capitalism, greatly distort the market, likely reduce payouts for smaller players using things like Adsense, and would even work to Google's detriment as it would establish a precedent that this warmed interpretation of copyright law is becoming the expected norm. One way or another, nothing good would come out of such a deal.
