RE: Europe is Planning a Content "Snippet Tax" for Google and Other News Aggregators

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

Damn... It is the time for new ways of bringing news to the masses... As many of my favourite Belgian news sites gets more and more articles which you only could read if you pay for a subscription, I tend to go elsewhere to read the news... (At least here in Belgium) there are alternative, completely free new news companies who are writing high quality news-content as well. Their articles are not always as all-encompassing (I don't know the English word for it, in Dutch: allesomvattend, uitgebreid) but you get the most important points + official sources to read more about the topics... I think the old newspapers with their subscription pages will slowly die if sites like google will not show any of these snippets anymore! I would say, let them fade away and let there be some new, more modern (maybe blockchain-based) newsplatforms!

Sort:  

Nice to see you report on the pay for news services in your own country. That shows how other people fill in and still provide the info. No one owns information. That's a silly human delusion.
