  You don’t read the news on Facebook, you get a head-line and a link to the news.

  Additionally, embedded snippets show what the news sites design them to. Their claim facebook/google/twitter were "stealing" the news by showing "too much" in news links are disingenuous because they're the ones in control of that.

  "Facebook captures most of the value" the bad-faith troll continues to assert without evidence.

  That feels like “paying in exposure”. Sure, exposure is good (especially from something as big as Facebook), but it’s not as good as actually getting paid properly.

  ...says nobody with the slightest comprehension of what the linking actually results in.

  Why should one company pay another company if the first company does something for free that directly benefits the first company?

  Not just that, but why should company A pay company B if company A does something for free that directly benefits company B?

  Can you give an argument for why paying zero is the right price?

  Why don't you ask that question of your strawmam, as theu're the only one holding such a position here.

  News agencies' "nobody should make money but us! stance comes from solely from the greed and entitlement of the degenerative brain disease known as copyright maximalism, nothing more.

  Someone arguing honestly in good faith, the way Arianty has never done here, would not be denying the reality that the news agencies were not only being compensated fairly for links, but that the news sites got the greater benefit from the symbiotic arrangement, before link taxes corrupted it into a parasitic relationship. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/03/31/news-publishers-admit-they-get-value-from-search-traffic-even-as-they-demand-extra-compensation-for-it/ https://www.techdirt.com/2023/09/14/latest-data-canadian-media-needs-facebook-more-than-facebook-needs-canadian-media/

  Linking: both parties benefit, with smaller agencies benefitting more Link taxes: platforms lose money to Murdoch, as designed. Why pretend link taxes are a well-intentioned solution to a problem that existed?

  An enemy of the US controlling a Social media network is bad, mmm’kay?

  So you agree you shouldn't be supporting Republicans' illegal attempts to control social media as much as you do.

  Notice how all the trolls who whine about hallucinated "censorship" are all silent about this actual attempt at censorship.
