We appear to be standing our ground!

Not my preferred choice of source but NatPo has more detail than some of the alternatives I saw. It includes some numbers as well as comments about the difference between Meta's and Google's approaches. Hint: they're not the same, so there's already cracks in the effort to make an example out of Canada.

Crazy idea. How about we force the government to only advertise with the news companies?

Unfortunately that may lead to a bit of a monopoly and advertisements would cost an arm and a leg.

However I would be all for that though, because the more an advertisement costs the less profit it will bring in and therefore less advertisements overall.

I just think they ought to know how it feels to be forced to subsidize an industry, out of their own pocket, against their will.
