Basically, they want their cake and to eat it too.
I remember a few years they were crying because Facebook was stealing their traffic, people didn’t go to the websites to read the news, so they didn’t click ads. Facebook was basically stealing their money!!!

The problem is that this view is shortsighted, because with these new laws you talk about, people still don’t go to news websites, and in fact get their news from alternative sources (and most of them, not good).
So now they are crying, again, but for the opposite reason.

Yeah, probably looks good to investors

Always has been 👩🏽‍🚀🔫👩🏽‍🚀

Companies have no moral, if they could get more money by selling children to the highest bidder, they would.
Many already make use of child labour in asian countries anyway.
Not to speak about the changing laws in some US states lowering minimum age for working, bringing back child labour.
It’s always money.

I think I use too many on Firefox ahahah
