What a childish take. “We don’t like the way things are” “Then leave”

Why not “ok let’s change things”. I’m not for Bill C-18, but that meme is such a garbage take.

Despite what your strawman suggests it's not a "take" it's a solution to the problem that these news companies are claiming to have.

>Why not “ok let’s change things”.

These news companies are more than welcome to make these changes and watch the "theft" by google and facebook disappear.

Lol Libertarians offer no real solution. It’s not realistic to leave the most popular way to share info in the 21st century. Come up with a better solution. Next!

I'm not a libertarian.

If news companies are so concerned with "theft" by facebook, and google, the tools are already there for them to stop the theft.

The answer to the "theft" isn't mandating payments for links.
