Are we really surprised?
TV media mostly and newspapers ( they are irrelvant anyway) publish news stories, THEY SHARE THEM with google and facebook to have a wider reach, yet THEY want facebook and google to PAY THEM for THEM SHARING articles?
So if I want to advertise my business in murdochs regime, then why am I paying murdoch? going by the media and govts line of thought, THEY should be paying me for that privilege.
This was never going to end well, and frankly I'm glad facebook grew some balls and stood up to murdochs law.
