      This is not great at all. You’ll just have pseudo “news” organizations fill the void.

      Your crazy uncles won’t stop sharing articles, but instead of coming from Fox News, they’ll be coming from AI spin-offs of infowars and AI Epoch times.

        Fox might actually be able to stay on Facebook, since they don’t legally count as news

        So instead of coming from fake news, it’ll be fake news?

        Oh, great. I was really hoping we left all the pseudo-intellectual corpo-shills in the speddit botscape.

          Oh great, I was hoping we left all the sarcastic non-comments that attack people and adds nothing to the discussion in the speddit botscape.

          Can we not?

    And nothing of value was lost. If you are getting your news via Facebook you are doing it wrong.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_News_Act doesn’t only apply to facebook… it’s extremely broad, unenforceable, and likely to be repealed

    I’d be happy if it makes it to America because social media such as Facebook, should not be a platform of news.
