      I have no love for tech bosses.

      Let me ask you - do you think we shouldn’t be allowed to share links to news articles on Lemmy?

        I think if a business is monetizing news, they should pay the news org.

        Why do you think FB should have a free right to others’ work?

          I see. So the end of the free and open internet. And all hail the pay to view internet. Want information? News? Weather? To interact with anyone else? Gotta pay up for every interaction.
