"Pourquoi Québecor pourrait-il se qualifier pour recevoir une partie du fonds venant de Google si l’entreprise continue de verser des dividendes à ses actionnaires? Comment Bell peut-elle se qualifier de victime face aux géants du Web quand ses revenus dépassent ceux de Meta (Facebook) au pays?"

Bell et Québecor n’ont pas besoin d’argent

To #paraphrase our #politicians' #hypocritical #whining about wildfire news being blocked because of bill C-18:

"Stop making us live with the consequences of our actions! No fair! I'm telling!"

@pre As a Canadian techie, I was telling everyone who would listen that this was the obvious and unavoidable outcome if bill C-18 was passed.

I wrote a (hopefully) funny thread about it.

#Clarification: there is no #legal #dispute involved here.

The #Canadian #government passed bill #C18, which says #Facebook, #Google, et al must #pay to #link to Canadian news stories.

It is now the law of the land. So companies have a choice: continue linking to Canadian news sites and pay for the privilege, or stop linking to Canadian news sites.

There is no third option.

A link tax makes zero #economic sense, so they chose option 2. Blame politicians, not the companies.

I think #Chekov said something to the effect of, you can't show the #audience a #performative, #senseless act of #parliament in Act One unless the #government shoots itself in the foot with it in Act Three.

Techies: 'Fraid not. You're trying to #have your #cake, and #eat it too.

#Canadian #Legacy #Media: We don't get it. How do you eat your cake if you don't have it?

Techies: You didn't take any history classes, did you?

CLM: Why would we need those?

Techies: Anyways... as long as C-18 is in effect, you won't get any traffic or exposure.

CLM: That sucks! Fix it!

Techies: I give up.

All of this was both #predictable, and #predicted. From the moment C-18 was announced, it was obvious to many, many people that this would have exactly these negative effects on #Canadian #publishers/#sites.

But no-one listened. In fact, most of them still refuse to listen.

I'm tired of #politicians preening for the cameras without a care in the world for the #consequences of their actions - which mainly fall on others, not them.

Je suis pas mal d’accord : sinon je pourrais spammer un lien vers les articles des médias québécois pour les rendre riches 🤑

Assez d’humour, je vais surveiller les stats de mes pages médias 😰
