Disappointing to see people trot out Meta’s “antithetical to the open web” talking point re Canada’s so-called link tax. We do not have an open web. We have a web which is controlled by large monopolies. Canada’s law is a reaction to that.
Now is it the right approach? I don’t think it is. But the key question is how to break Meta and Google’s monopoly power, not pretending that reactions against monopoly power are breaking something which doesn’t exist.

It never ceases to amaze that for so many on left and right, it it easier to imagine the end of the whole world than the end of capitalism.
