    This is a *much* better approach than the profit-sharing arrangements that are being trialed in Australia, Canada and France (these are sometimes called #NewsBargainingCodes or #LinkTaxes). Funding the news by guaranteeing it a share of Big Tech's profits makes the news into partisans for that profit - not the Big Tech watchdogs we need them to be.
